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.
