On the Day You Were Born: A Photo Journal
Debra Frasier. Harcourt Children's Books, $9.95 (16pp) ISBN 978-0-15-202172-6
Inspired by her bestselling book of the same name, On the Day You Were Born: A Photo Journal by Debra Frasier supplies a sturdy cardboard frame on each of its eight spreads. The photographs then personalize and add meaning to the calming text, ""On the day you were born a circle of people welcomed you with voices familiar and clear."" On this page, in addition to the photo frame, a prompt asks youngsters (and parents) to write down the ""people who welcomed you,"" while the facing illustration shows a woman holding a baby as friends and family gently dance around her.
