In a perfect gift for new and expectant parents (and siblings), a gentle story pays tribute to the wonder and emotion of a familys first quiet days with a newborn.

The house is hushed.

The lights are low.

Were basking in a newborn glow.

Inside the cozy house, a baby has arrived The world is eager to meet the newcomer, but there will be time enough for that later.

Right now, the family is on its babymoon: cocooning, connecting, learning, and muddling through each new concern.

While the term babymoon is often used to refer to a parents getaway before the birth of a child, it was originally coined by midwives to describe days like these: at home with a newborn, with the world held at bay and the wonder of a new family constellation unfolding.

Paired with warm and winsome illustrations by Juana Martinez-Neal, Hayley Barretts lyrical ode to these tender first days will resonate with new families everywhere.
