Illustrated by
Gabi Swiatkowska.
A girl watches her pregnant mother knit a layette and wonders what the future will hold ("Will this baby like the stars?"). The art is as metaphorical as the text: in one typically lovely spread, the girl imagines that her new sibling balances on a strand of yarn that connects their mother's knitting needles with the moon.
