With captivating illustrations of young and older humans, and everyone in between, each page and the simple text inside illuminates the value of recognizing the moment.
Every moment.

“In every moment, blessed is the mystery.”
I loved the contemplative illustrations of people experiencing emotions, and the beginning note where author Marla Frazee explains this Caldecott Honour book’s origins. The unknown poem often used at baby welcoming ceremonies is filled with meaning.
This perfect book is a meditation on the wonders of life and filled me with comfort, hope and a feeling of being nurtured with love.
