About this book
Both a welcome book and a tale of origins, this title speaks beautifully and poetically to what is deeply universal, and is to be cherished by the family from before a child is born to long afterwards.
First, we witness the radiance of light, the vibrancy of colours… then the cosmos, the elements that shape the world and allow life to blossom. Roots, sprouts, branches, feathers, scales, tentacles: this diverse life grows, moves, forages, transforms, meets and unites. And so it all begins again, with a new birth: here you are, baby!
Created using paper pulp made from recycled paper, the images emerge layer by layer, as an analogy for cycles of decomposition and recomposition, with water acting as the universal binding agent.
• A full immersion into colours and textures.
• This celebration of the birth of all things and the eternal renewal of life is a perfect birth gift.
• A thick, stylish board book with coloured edges.
