The cover of this book alone recommends it as a gift for parents of a new baby. Inside is a collection of universal hopes for a child ("I hope you will always be curious. / I hope you will never forget how to be silly"), accompanied by realistic paintings of idealized scenes of children playing or spending time with their families. Parents may enjoy reading--and explaining--this adult-themed book to children.
