This sweet story “The Day You Were Born” is a delightful book for the mother-to-be and her children. This short story helps explain how a child is brought into the world and celebrates a birthday. This book would be great for first time moms explaining to their young children how they came into the world, or a second time mom explaining the birth of a sibling. It emphasizes strongly the bond between mother and child, and strong ties to family throughout a child’s life.
