Before You Were Born

Before you were born
God wrote your days in a book,
and when you arrived
we wrapped you in white
and introduced you to the dawn.

W hat child isn't curious about those first days of life? In Before You Were Born Nancy White Carlstrom celebrates the mystery of how each child is a part of God's plan and the wonder of how a family grows and changes when a child arrives. With vibrant colors and joyful images, illustrator Linda Saport tenderly conveys the excitement and love with which parents welcome children into their lives.

This lyrical celebration of every child's life takes its inspiration from Psalm 139.
