When the World Was Waiting for You by Gillian Shields

When the World Was Waiting for You by Gillian Shields

The Rabbit family is filled with excitement - because soon a new baby will arrive! And they can't wait to meet it. The nursery has been decorated, toys and gifts have been bought, and finally the big day arrives . . . A touching story about the special bond between parents and their children.

Enchantingly simple text and the most lovely illustrations make this book one to treasure * Angels & Urchins *
Currey's figures manage to be both human and rabbity and Shield's gentle, simple rhyming couplets make this a perfect bedtime book * Glasgow Herald *
Within minutes I was feeling a warm nostalgia with its reminders of the comforting world of Beatrix Potter * Tremendously Two *
Perfect for welcoming a new baby into the world * Books Monthly *
