I Loved You Before You Were Born Board Book
Grandma loved you before she ever held you in her arms. đź’›
I Loved You Before You Were Born by Anne Bowen is a tender love letter from a grandmother to the grandchild she couldn’t wait to meet.
Before baby’s arrival, Grandma dreams about all the little things to come—the soft sighs, tiny toes and sweet baby smells. She imagines the first smiles, the first rolls and the first crawls, eagerly waiting for the day she can finally hold this very loved little one.
And when baby arrives, Grandma has one very important thing to say:
She was Grandma before they were even born—and she already loved them.
Anne Bowen’s gentle, lyrical story and Greg Shed’s soft watercolor illustrations beautifully capture the anticipation, wonder and BIG love that comes with welcoming a new grandchild.
