Bookroo's summary

A family eagerly awaits the arrival of a new baby, each member contributing to a special cradle. Father builds, Grandfather paints, Brother crafts a mobile, and Mother places it under the stars. When the baby arrives, she sleeps peacefully, embraced by their love. How will this cradle become a symbol of their shared joy and anticipation?

From the publisher

When the family learns they are going to have a baby, they decide they need a cradle. Father builds it, Grandfather paints it, Brother makes a mobile for it, Mother moves it underneath the window with a view of the starry sky. And, when Baby finally arrives, she sleeps in it, “just like a baby.” As warm and reassuring as a baby’s blanket, this story will touch every family that has welcomed a new child into their home.
