      About This Book

      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 – or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen – and it does, when a new baby arrives.

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