Blurb:

Come to me, my baby love,

My morning child,

My bright-eyed dove...

 

A joyful celebration of mother-baby love,

From waking at dawn to playing, meal-times,

Bath-time and finally – sleeping at dusk.

 

Review:

My baby Love is beautifully written, the words flow with a passion.

For me it describes motherhood in a whole new way. With my baby on the way it makes me realise how much I really have to look forward to.

The illustrations done by Beatriz are so amazing. She is such a talented illustrator.

 

I recommend this book to anyone who is stuck for a gift for a first time mum or  the mum that is on her second, third or fourth child as it’s a great reminder of the joys of raising a child.

 

My baby Love is available at all good book stores. Signed copies are available from the author for $25 free postage. Contact Meredith through her website for your signed copy.
