Hello My Little Poppy Seed is an expectant mother's love poem to her yet-to-be-born baby. Richly and lyrically illustrated, it is a celebration of the awe-inspiring development of a baby, comparing its growth to the size of various fruits.
I began writing Hello My Little Poppy Seed when my daughter was pregnant with our first grand-daughter, giving us weekly updates on how the baby was growing. The manuscript took several years to complete and I actually put it aside for quite sometime. The final words came to me in a rush when our daughter was pregnant with our second grand-daughter, three years later. I found the artist, Jennifer Dzik, through a series of miraculous events.
It is perfect book for both new mothers and fathers, whether given as a baby shower, birth or christening gift.
