Welcome to Your World

“Watercolor illustrations use bold, earthy tones, and there is a sense of movement in each scene. Ultimately, the sentimentality plucks at the heartstrings of new parents.”
—School Library Journal

With lyrical language and stunning illustrations, Welcome to Your World takes readers from ice-capped mountains to the depths of the sea. Tender scenes between animals and their babies encourage families to join in the loving bond that connects them to one another and to the wonders of our planet. This beautiful book is ideal for sharing with new babies, new parents, and children just venturing out in the world, as best-selling author Smriti Prasadam-Halls and acclaimed illustrator Jaime Kim provide both a celebration of nature and a gentle reminder to protect it.
