"We looked upon you, / impossible you, and we felt everything." Two gorilla parents gaze lovingly at their baby and wonder, "Who would you be? Who would we be?" The heartstrings-tugging text follows the parents' hopes and dreams for the child's life. The watercolor illustrations have more kid-appeal than the text, showing the little family at different stages of life.
