When I was born
Specialists say that our exploration of the world starts within the womb.
While we lie there all cosy, we already listen to music, recognise voices, follow our mother’s emotions closely. But it’s as if all these discoveries were waiting to be confirmed… which is what happens on the day we are born.
That’s where the great adventure starts. As we breathe, taste, feel…
And it’s some of these discoveries – those that amazed and amaze us – that parade through the pages of this book. Discoveries as simple as the colour of the bottom of the sea, the sound of a leaf touching the ground, or the smell of the holidays when Summer arrives.
A book welcoming the birth of every baby.
