I've Loved You from the Start

Mama Duck sits with her egg and tells it everything she already feels. Gentle rhymes and soft watercolour carry a message worth hearing early: you were loved before you ever arrived.

• Rhyming text, made for reading aloud at bedtime
• Watercolour illustrations on every page
• Hardcover picture book, built to be kept
• A thoughtful gift for a baby shower, new arrival or first birthday

A story about an egg waiting to hatch. We were always going to carry this one.

About the author
Tabitha Paige is a watercolour artist and a licensed speech-language pathologist, and both halves show in her books. She builds them around the words babies reach for first, in soft painted illustration — made to be read aloud over and over, which is exactly how early language is learned.
