Editorial Reviews:

Debra Frasier's modern classic On the Day You Were Born has been welcoming babies into the world for more than a decade--and has sold over a million copies. Now this favorite hardcover book comes to life with a musical CD featuring an original composition by Matthew Smith to accompany the author's moving narration.

The spinning earth, the glowing moon, the rising tides--each natural wonder appears in an evocative instrumental arrangement that makes for a moving and memorable gift, perfect to celebrate the arrival of every new baby.

Summary: Beautiful Baby Gift
Comment: This is a beautiful book to celebrate a new baby. It is a book that can be read by adults (or older siblings) and enjoyed as the 'baby' gets old enough to read it!

Summary: Very Special
Comment: I love this book, and so have the parents of the newborns that have received it as a baby gift. I believe a child needs to know that he/she is a very special creation, and this book honors the child appropriately.

Summary: Average
Comment: Based on the reviews, I bought this book for my nephew's first birthday.

The concept was great, but the abstract pictures and abstract poetry, I believe, does not resonate with the reader, be it adult or child.

Summary: From parent to child
Comment: I bought this book for my son as a birthday present, as he and I both like stories with Native American influences. He has read it many times since receiving it, especially when he wants to feel closer to me or to get through a bad day. This book is a wonderful addition to any young child's collection of stories.

Summary: On The Day You Were Born
Comment: This is a book we give as a gift for new babies and their families. It is a beautiful book with colorful illustrations and meaningful text. It is definitely a "keepsake".
