About Born
Product Description As she is born, the baby in this story goes through a time of intense movement and change before she takes her first breath and cries. Warm hands wrap her in a blanket, and she is held in loving arms. She has arrived! Sobol captures the mystery and wonder of the birth experience in this deeply sympathetic tale. Reading this book together will enable children and their parents to celebrate the joy and emotional power of that remarkable moment. Cindy Derby’s soft, gentle illustrations beautifully complement the poem. Review Praise for John Sobol, Cindy Derby and Born:“Poetic text and evocative images infused with love and warmth welcome a new baby.” — Kirkus Reviews“[A] meditative ode to childbirth.” — Publishers WeeklyPraise for John Sobol, Dasha Tolstikova and Friend or Foe:“A quiet, thoughtful narrative for all readers who like to wonder.”— Kirkus Reviews“The story is stark and ambiguous … It’s this understatedness that lets the book’s sly humour land.”— Globe and Mail“A solid addition for most libraries; hand this one to fans of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen’s Sam and Dave Dig a Hole.”— School Library Journal“A charming modern-day fable, without a simplistic moral, about what makes for and what undoes the sense of otherness.”— Brain PickingsPraise for Shannon Bramer, Cindy Derby and Climbing Shadows:“[A] stunning book of poems for children . . . . Bramer’s evocative words are made even more memorable by the watercolours of San Francisco’s Cindy Derby. . . .” — Postmedia“Bramer’s poems . . . explore an evocative range of emotional states, metaphors, and ideas. Understated, dreamlike paintings with offsetting white space accompany the poems. . . . The works carry notes of wistfulness and wonder, astute observations, and poignant reflections on one’s place in the world.” — Publishers Weekly“Cindy Derby is having a bit of a banner year here in the States…. Here, Derby’s art sort of looks like the lovechild of Stephen Gammell and Matt James. That spidery, delicate art all awash in evocative watercolors that feel like something out of the world’s nicest fever dream.” — A Fuse #8 Production Review Praise for John Sobol, Cindy Derby and Born:“Poetic text and evocative images infused with love and warmth welcome a new baby.” ― Kirkus Reviews“[A] meditative ode to childbirth.” ― Publishers Weekly“[T]he combination of Sobol’s words and Derby’s illustrations together make a thoroughly captivating story.” ― CM Review of MaterialsPraise for John Sobol, Dasha Tolstikova and Friend or Foe: “A quiet, thoughtful narrative for all readers who like to wonder.” ― Kirkus Reviews“The story is stark and ambiguous … It’s this understatedness that lets the book’s sly humour land.” ― Globe and Mail“A solid addition for most libraries; hand this one to fans of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen’s Sam and Dave Dig a Hole.” ― School Library Journal“A charming modern-day fable, without a simplistic moral, about what makes for and what undoes the sense of otherness.” ― Brain PickingsPraise for Shannon Bramer, Cindy Derby and Climbing Shadows:“[A] stunning book of poems for children . . . .
