A family gets ready to greet a new baby

As a father helps his children get ready for school, the busy sounds of day unfold:

Bus honks and bells,
Dishes and shoes,
Whirring of tires and
Crackle of news . . .

Then night falls and the sounds are different:
Wind singing,
Sometimes rain
Slapping leaves on
Windowpane . . .

But this is no ordinary day â€" or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen â€" and it does, when a new baby arrives.

Rich, playful paintings combine with lyrical language to tell a warm, vibrant story of family.
