A simple and emotional story celebrating the ‘firsts’ in a baby’s life from birth to their first birthday. The first smile, the first tooth, the first step—these events are significant milestones in a family and create life-long memories to be cherished. There is an interactive element to this story. The final illustration includes, ‘We love you, …. thus inviting parents to add the name of their child. Also, the front and back endpapers include a clear folder to insert pictures of ‘The day you were born’ and ‘The day you turned one’.
The story’s illustrations show a variety of babies from different cultural backgrounds, but the ‘firsts’ in a baby’s life are universal and cherished in a similar way world-wide.
