Book Reviews of On the Day You Were Born
Book Review: Self-esteem as self-aggrandizement
Summary: 1 Stars
Grounded in the self-aggrandizement school of self-esteem, On the Day You Were Born is a Desiderata for the 90's. In author Debra Frasier's universe, the Copernican revolution never happened--she tells us that on the day you were born, the sun lights "your sky," the moon's pull washes the beach "clean for your footprints" and the news of "your birth" migrates from animal to animal. This sort of egocentric subjectivity would not be so offensive if we were at least willing to reciprocate. But what to get a newborn slug? Illustrated in the style of Matisse cutouts.Book Review: Meaningful for adopted kids too
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this photo journal based on Debra Frasier's On the day you were born to use to tell our adopted baby the story of her birth and adoption. We've included pictures of her birth parents and us (who were all there at her birth) and so it makes a great way to introduce her to her story. The last page "We're so glad you've come!" is especially moving to me - I cry happy tears every time I read it to her, knowing how happy we are to have her in our lives.So few traditional baby books work for adopted babies so this was a happy surprise.
Book Review: The Baby Is Here!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Outragougs!" This book is so good. A baby has just been born and he is about to find out some crazy stuff. On the day he was born alot of stuff happened evrybody was talking about it even the animals knew that he was being born. That makes a person feel good on the inside when they know that they are that important. It was like the world bowed down to him. What would you do if you could take back time too when you were never born and when you were born the whole world was talking about it. Think about the day you were born.Book Review: Powerfully sweet.
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this book I was at a book store shopping for a gift for my new little nephew. I was initially attracted to the title and the artistry. I turned the pages, reading in anticipation of the day *he* was born, I turned the final page, and read the last line. I will tell you that tears welled up in my eyes. I have bought this book for every new life ever since. How happy I was to receive this book for a gift for my little son this past February.Book Review: Love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is perfect for anyone who wants to introduce the connection humans, animals, the earth, the universe has to each other. Beautiful simple illustrations. My son of 20 months points to the little person in the scenes as if he knows that is "him". This is one of the books he picks out every night to read before bed. It actually brings tears to my eyes as we read the last line together, "whispered in your open curving ear, We're so glad you've come."
