![]() ![]() Welcome, Precious is by Nikki Grimes, the story contains three main characters baby who has no name and no gender, his/her father, and mother. Even though the book does not go that far into the dynamics of family, it does open the door for discussion. This book would be a great book to discuss on how to be excited and happy about a new family member without feeling like they would lose their place in their parent's heart. However, I do feel that this would be a great book to read in class as well to help the children get excited about welcoming a younger sibling or cousin into the family. Which, is what I wanted to have for my son but it just so happened my daughter was graduating within the same time frame. The illustrator did a great job of focusing on the words of the author, and it was amazing to see how it ended up being a big party for the baby. As I read the book and observed the pictures, I could see small resembles of my son. ![]() It was as though the author had stepped inside my heart and wrote it. ![]() I love the way the author welcome their baby to the world, family and their love. I really can connect with this book on a personal level, especially since I have a ten-month-old son. ![]()
