My Book of Firsts is a delightful collection of poems about the milestones experienced by babies in their first year.

All illustrated with the warm and inviting drawings of Bruno Brogna. The book features a section in the back with spaces for parents to record their baby’s milestones as they reach them. My Book of Firsts will ultimately become a keepsake and record to return to in the future. It is a perfect baby shower gift, a sibling gift, and a great book for day care centers with infant/toddler programs.
