A sweet letter to a pregnant mother from her baby girl who is yet unseen. Written from the perspective of a fetus, HELLO MOM is as much a description of the miracle of life, as it is an intimate message from an unborn baby to her mother. This concept picture book weaves the different stages of a baby's development together with sweet little notes to her mother. It draws us into both the physical development of the fetus and the burgeoning development of a baby with personality, dreams, senses and so much more. The miracle of life and the promise of a mother-daughter relationship unfolds from page to page. To see her single cell split into two identical cells and go from there on a journey of continual growth, step by step, forming the intricacies of her uniqueness, is a marvel we watch unfolding in the secret confines of her mother's womb. Observe the growth of a baby from the moment of conception to her birth, from what seems like an abstract molecular composition, the perfectly timed responses of cells developing and growing into a little human, is profoundly humbling and awe inspiring. Both scientific and poetic. As glimpses of her physical growth astound, be drawn into another level of connection, anticipating the moment when she will meet her mother face to face. HELLO MOM is the best book for pregnant mothers, a pregnancy baby book to gift an expectant mother, and the perfect baby shower book.
