Illustrated by Julie Vivas.
Jack and his family have waited a long time for this day - the birth of a new baby. We join Jack as everyone (his sisters, Dad, Aunt and the midwife) get ready for the home birth - chopping wood to keep the fire going, putting out the baby's clothes, making a giant bed by the fire for Mum and the new baby . . .
This powerful, moody, beautiful story of a family all being together for a home birth is written with honesty and warmth by Jenni Overend, whose own children were present at the birth of her youngest son. Multi-award winning illustrator Julie Vivas captures this special moment with her characteristic harmonious, sensitive, gentle illustrations. This is a book for the whole family to share.
