Baby Blessings: A Prayer for the Day You Are Born

(4) PS Illustrated by James E. Ransome. A couple welcomes their baby boy with assurances of care, support, and protection ("You will always be loved with a love that knows no bounds") and words of advice ("Always strive to do your best"). Jordan's text, essentially just a list of aphorisms, is strengthened by Ransome's illustrations. They show a story: the baby boy, encircled by loving parents, blossoms into a fine young lad.
