With just two weeks until the publication of The Wonder That is You I’m excited to partner with Zonderkidz to bring you a three-book giveaway!
But first, let me share some of the wonderful feedback I’m receiving from those who’ve read advanced copies. Based on the true story of my eldest son’s birth, this book captures the universal joy parents feel when welcoming a new child into the family.
But although it makes the perfect gift for new parents, this book is reaching into the hearts of women of all ages, who are finding that its words take them back to the time when they held their own little ones…
Your words describe how I felt holding my baby Hannah….”I almost thought my heart would burst with all the love inside”….25 years later and those moments are still so clear. CAROL
The lyrical text brought me back to the time, many years ago, when my eldest daughter was born. AMY
I started to read it and in the first couple of pages I just wanted to get one for each of my grown kids! It really reminded me of the wonder and preciousness your own new baby brings… DEBI
Oh my word this book was all I hoped for and then some….All those excited feelings of a new baby just came rushing back. So lovely. FAYELLE
