On the Day You Were Born
by, Debra Frasier
This is a beautifully written, poetic book that tells of the wonders of our planet earth, and the special welcoming of a new baby. The illustrations on each page hold bright contrasting colors, and each page seems worthy of framing.
Mostly, I love the poetic verse in this book, as well as the subtle messages of conservation and the importance of taking care of planet- for it takes care of us. The end of this book contains informational pages with expanded information about some of the terms mentioned in the books verses. There is information about migration, gravity, the sun, the moon, tides, atmosphere, etc.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will support an Environmental Learning Center in Florida's Indian River Lagoon. This book supports environmental efforts not only through the words that it shares, but financially as well. I love this book.
