BABY BORN

Writing a Small Poem

What’s the story? Both of my children were born in the winter months, so when I wrote this 140 word picture book poem about a baby’s first year, I began with the cold winter weather. Here is the first page of Baby Born:

This book came out in 1998 as a lift-the-flap book. Then it was published as a board book. In 2019, for the 20th anniversary edition, it was reprinted in paperback . . . with NEW pages in the back that had questions to encourage conversations between young readers (soon-to-be siblings) and their caregivers.

Now it’s your turn! What is your WINTER story?
