New baby shower book alert. This book may not have a baby in it, but it is the sweetest poem about beginnings which definitely feels on theme for babies. After all they are just at their beginning.

The truth learned from this book is not all endings are bad. They lead to new beginnings. It’s such a sweet thought and a great reminder even for me, a mom. 

This is a unique book in that the main characters are a dad and a son. It is just the sweetest story with the most magical illustrations. The colors are amazing and I just couldn’t recommend this book enough. 

I’m adding this to my baby shower book list!
