Bookroo's summary

A mother embarks on a journey through time, tracing her child's lineage back through generations. Each ancestor is represented by a colorful matryoshka doll, adorned with nature's beauty. As the dolls get smaller, the story unfolds, revealing the rich tapestry of family history. How far back does Baby's ancestry go, and what stories do these ancestors hold? Discover the connections that bind the past to the present in this enchanting exploration of heritage.

From the publisher

“Looking back at Baby’s ancestors, Mother describes how long, long, long, long ago, her mother’s mother’s mother’s mother gave birth to her mother’s mother’s mother. And so it goes, describing Baby’s lineage through to present day. Russian nesting dolls (matryoshka) illustrated on each spread get smaller with each page turn, and each is a different color decorated with animals, flowers, and other nature-based items”–
