Life will never be the same.On the night you were born, the whole world came alive with thanksgiving. The moon stayed up till morning. The geese flew home to celebrate. Polar bears danced. On the night you were born you brought wonder and magic to the world. Here is a book that celebrates you. It is meant to be carried wherever life takes you, over all the roads, through all the years. Nancy Tillman is a successful greeting card designer and former advertising executive who created On the Night You Were Born to convey to children, at an early and impressionable age, that You are the one and only ever you. Nancy Tillman lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and their two children.

Not a fan. There is no actual story. Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn’t. I guess it’s supposed to be “feel good” for parents, (I don’t think a kid would want to read this, nothing happens) but it’s not good writing. I’m not a fan of the illustrations, especially the weird moon faces.
Did not like it.

I couldn’t love this book more, stumbled upon my first copy at a consignment shop and it’s my favorite. I recommend it to everyone and have gifted it too. So sweet, encourages a child to know how special they are and always makes me emotional reading it to my girls.
