Before We Met

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A timely and moving picture book that captures the excitement, hope, and love within families of all shapes and sizes. The perfect gift for any parent, carer, or grandparent.

Before we met, I made a wish

upon a starry night ...

To bring you home into my arms,

to fill our world with light.

Waiting to meet a new addition to your family is a special time as you dream of the joy to come.

This beautiful picture book is a heartfelt and moving tribute to the anticipation and excitement that a child can bring, and the ways in which a family can be created, including IVF and adoption.

A joyous celebration of growing families of all shapes and sizes from award-winning duo Gabrielle Tozer and Sophie Beer.
