What follows is a buoyant, imagistic tribute to the season, as the Spirit lists joys both and intangible, before offering the reminder: 'Because it took nothing but love to begin it, / it's not really Christmas if love isn't in it.' Tillman's ethereal illustrations are surreal but captivating." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Bestselling author Tillman offers a dreamlike interpretation of the collective spirit that permeates the holiday." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"The wonderful colored illustrations convey a sense of joy and peace." --<i>Children's Literature</i> <p/>"This is one of those rare baby books that should make both skeptics and sentimentalists of all ages happy." --<i>Publishers Weekly on On the Night You Were Born</i> <p/>"A beautiful tribute to the uniqueness of every child." --<i>Kirkus Reviews on On the Night You Were Born</i> <p/>"Many parents will welcome this opportunity to tell their children how special and loved they are." --<i>Booklist on On the Night You Were Born</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Nancy Tillman</b> is the author and illustrator of the <i>New York Times</i> best-selling picture book <i>On the Night You Were Born</i> and its companion journal, <i>The Wonder of You: A Book for Celebrating Baby's First Year</i>.
