I absolutely loved this book as well. I still get choked up when I read it and I don't even have any children. I think the book does a fantastic job portraying birth as a spirtual and joyous event. Do you think that the illustrations added anything to the mood? I definitely think that the bright colors added a celebratory tone. Thanks for your post.
