I wanted to share a new parenting book with you. The book is called The First Days by which is written and illustrated by Eleanor Brindle. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
I sat down this morning to read The First Days and Charlie wanted me to let you know he liked the black and white cover. I began to read the book which reminded me of Poetry. I love how you can tell its a new parent talking to her Baby.
I like how the Author lets us know the parent is going to share a promise, a poem and maybe a Prayer. The Author reminds the baby that the parent want’s to be a sanctuary for them. Which all parents want to do no matter how old there child is.
I like how the Author lets the baby know how they wonder what he or she will become. The Authors promises to listen and to see talk spirit as it takes shape and form as there true self. Were reminded the baby will have questions and were reminded we will give you honesty.
This isn’t all The First Days teaches us but to find out what else the Author has to say you will need to pick up a copy of the book for yourself. This book is for new-parents but I can see parents of all ages learning through the information the Author shares with us.
