OVERVIEW

What a beautiful book celebrating motherhood! Each page, so exquisitely illustrated by Airin O’Callaghan, shares a Bible verse just perfect for the subject. From baby’s gentle breaths to his tiny hands and cooing voice, the author rejoices in the joys of motherhood and how maternal love literally takes your breath away. It’s a lovely book, it’s poetry, it’s a prayer of praise! When I hold you would make a memorable gift for any new mother.
