One You

A lyrical countdown to your baby coming into the world and a count-up to the memories you’ll make together.
For nine magic months, two hearts beat together, then with ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes, a new life begins. One wonderful world, and now, one you. Through the magical story of the journey into parenthood, a beautiful message to a child is revealed: nothing else counts more than you.
This poetic and poignant book about a child coming into the world would make the perfect gift for new parents, or a beautiful first book for a baby.
