"Welcome to the World" by Beck Haga

Looking for a special story to share with your baby during those precious early days after their birth? Reading to babies and young children is so important! It provides the building blocks for language. And it gives them the tools for forming lifelong social and emotional skills -not to mention helps form bonds between baby and their caregivers. This story and it's illustrations will help you to acknowledge the beauty and excitement of sharing the wonders of the world with your newborn through pen & ink drawings and poetry. Did you know that newborns prefer to look at rounded shapes with light and dark borders (ie. your adoring eyes)? Just after birth, a baby sees only in black and white, with shades of gray. Following your child's development, and the Montessori Method, this book will serve as a great visual stimulus during those first few months. The illustrations are recommended for use as visual stimulus during tummy time as well!
