Baby Blessings: A Prayer for the Day You Are Born. Deloris Jordan. Illustrated by James E. Ransome. 2010. Simon & Schuster. 32 pages.

Today you are born.
You will always be loved with a love that knows no bounds.
You will touch the world in your own special way.
We pray that you will always be kind.

This book is a prayer, an affirmation, a blessing. It is beautifully illustrated by James E. Ransome. The illustrations show a family growing, loving, and living. These domestic portraits complement the text well.
