| Before
You Were Born
with illustrator Linda Saport
“After
writing this text, I read it, first to one son, age eight, then
to the other, age five. Each responded with ‘You wrote this
about me, didn’t you Mom?’ And I could say to both, “Yes.” --

The
story
What
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.
Review
“A luminescent tale extolling the miraculous changes wrought by
an infant’s arrival. Expanding upon the greatly reassuring
words of Psalm 139, Carlstrom details the myriad ways in which
a couple’s life evolves with the birth of their
child. . .A beautiful portrayal.” Kirkus Reviews
