Julia Donaldson's "It's a Little Baby" is a sweet, lift-the-flap book that celebrates the arrival of new life in the animal kingdom. The core message aligns beautifully with the biblical view of new life as a blessing and a gift from God. The book fosters a sense of wonder and awe at creation. While the book is secular in nature, its theme is profoundly pro-life and pro-family in a general sense. It's an excellent, harmless choice for the youngest readers, providing a wonderful opportunity for parents to talk about how God creates every living thing, including them, and how each new baby is a precious miracle.
