In a perfect gift for new and expectant parents (and siblings), a gentle story pays tribute to the wonder and emotion of a familys first quiet days with a newborn.The house is hushed. The lights are low.Were basking in a newborn glow.Inside the cozy house, a baby has arrived! The world is eager to meet the newcomer, but there will be time enough for that later. Right now, the family is on its babymoon: cocooning, connecting, learning, and muddling through each new concern. While the term babymoon is often used to refer to a parents getaway before the birth of a child, it was originally coined by midwives to describe days like these: at home with a newborn, with the world held at bay and the wonder of a new family constellation unfolding. Paired with warm and winsome illustrations by Juana Martinez-Neal, Hayley Barretts lyrical ode to these tender first days will resonate with new families everywhere.
