Babymoon

In a perfect gift for new and expectant parents (and siblings) a gentle story pays tribute to the wonder and emotion of a family’s first quiet days with a newborn.. The house is hushed. The lights are low.We’re basking in a newborn glow.. Inside the cozy house a baby has arrived! The world is eager to meet the newcomer but there will be time enough for that later. Right now the family is on its babymoon: cocooning connecting learning and muddling through each new concern. While the term “babymoon” is often used to refer to a parents’ getaway before the birth of a child it was originally coined by midwives to describe days like these: at home with a newborn with the world held at bay and the wonder of a new family constellation unfolding. Paired with warm and winsome illustrations by Juana Martinez-Neal Hayley Barrett’s lyrical ode to these tender first days will resonate with new families everywhere.
