Illustrated by
Kay Chorao.
While holding her granddaughter on her knee, Grandma tells the story of Maddy's birth. On the day when the baby was in a hurry to be born, parents hurried to the hospital and Grandma hurried to meet the baby. Illustrated with soft watercolors, this story, though a bit precious, turns anxious anticipation into loving appreciation of the excitement surrounding birth.
