Hello, Little One

Publisher: North Star Press of St. Cloud

From the author of the beloved classic Old Turtle comes a heartfelt letter to all newborns, a warm and wise welcome to the world.

Inspired by the birth of his first grandchild, Douglas Wood offers this welcome—moving from “the silver hems of the clouds” to the “treasures of the soul,”—to any Little One newly arrived in the world, and to the family who loves them. These are words to be kept and returned to again and again, treasured for a lifetime, and are stunningly paired with the images of gifted photographer Katharina Wood, Douglas's own daughter-in-law.
