Words Of Wisdom From Your New Baby
Marie Shropshire

What event creates more cause for joy and celebration than the birth of a baby? Yours To Love: Words of Wisdom From Your New Baby provides practical wisdom for parents in an imaginative and entertaining way. And what parent has not secretly wished that his or her new baby had come into the world with a set of instructions and the ability to put them into words?

Here are 30 simple, reaffirming lessons about the love and guidance every child needs. Each lesson is written from the voice of the baby for parents as they prepare for the challenges and joys of caring for their newborn. Each chapter includes related biblical quotes and inspiring photographs. This book is filled with meditations about how to handle the most impressionable and important years of a child's life.

Ah, I'm here at last! Yours to love. I hope you're as excited as I am about my being yours. It doesn't matter whether I was born to you, or if you adopted me...I'm yours. -- From Chapter 1, "Enjoy Me"

When I show disappointment, allow me to express my feelings...Then try to avert my attention. Suggest something fun for me to do. -- From Chapter 30, "Teach Me To Be Optimistic"

This is an excellent guide for parents. It tells profound truths in simple words.
