We Sang You Home

Description: We Sang You Home ITEM DESCRIPTION Review "Both Van Camp's words and Flett's illustrations are economical, but We Sang You Home is not a quick read. Instead, each of the paired pages of text and illustration truly demands that the reader pause and reflect on the pages' contents. Highly recommended." ― CM Magazine"The emotions of parenthood—including feelings of love, elation, and gratitude—are certain to be conveyed to [children] by the parents who share this tale with them. A lovely picture book that will resonate with parents and show young readers the profound, positive impact they have on their parents' lives." ― School Library Journal"Babies and toddlers love to be loved, and they will also love to see themselves and their parents reflected in the beautiful pages of this book." ― Canadian Children's Book News"A great strength of this book is that it is nonspecific and inclusive enough to encompass all new babies—arriving through birth, fostering, or adoption—and it does not specify gender…The whole message is one of love, welcome, and completion now that the young one has joined the family. The eye-catching illustrations hint at a non-specific non-white race for the family (could be Asian, First Nations, Inuit, etc.), making this book inclusive and encompassing of Canada's ethnic diversity…It is a book of thankfulness and hope that would make a wonderful addition to the preschool collection in a library. Highly recommended." ― Resource Links“A sweet and loving board parents' certainty that their baby is ‘the best of all of us’ is an affirmation every baby should hear.’ ― Kirkus Reviews“A beautiful welcome and a thank you to the Indigenous child who brings joy into the parents’ lives.” ― School Library Journal Product Description A celebration of the bond between parent and child, this is the perfect song to share with your little ones. In this sweet and lyrical picture book from the creators of the bestselling Little You, gentle rhythmic text captures the wonder new parents feel as they welcome baby into the renowned storyteller and bestselling author Richard Van Camp teams up with award-winning illustrator Julie Flett for a second time to create a stunning book for young readers. From School Library Journal K-Gr 2-Van Camp's lyrical free verse poem is a beautiful welcome and a thank you to the Indigenous child who brings joy into the parents' lives. In answer to wishes and prayers, a baby joins the home of a couple who truly cherish this new life. Gouache and digital collages create charming vignettes of a contented family of three. A few pictures offer details, such as the baby with two new teeth, but the majority of illustrations are simple shapes saturated with color. Talking directly to the infant, the parent expresses love: "As we give you roots you give us wings. And through you we are born again." Pictures of the doting parents with their child always nearby are warm and loving. VERDICT Van Camp and Flett have created a heartfelt tale for parents welcoming their newest family member.Maryann H.
