Children's Book Council: Spring 2024 Showcase: Reading List: Transformation
Matthew is thrilled about the new baby. However, one day, something incredibly sad occurs. The doctor informs Matthew's mother that her baby is not developing appropriately and will not be strong enough to survive outside her body.

Matthew, his mother, and father will always cherish their baby. However, over time, they will no longer feel sad frequently.

The author wrote this story based on her own experience to help her son cope with the loss of a baby. This child-centered book is designed to assist children and families who experience miscarriage, stillbirth, perinatal death, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A new edition of the first published book by Siobhán Parkinson, who later became Ireland's first Laureate na nÓg (Children's Laureate). It was writing this book that Parkinson found her voice as a children's writer, a gift she credits to the baby she lost all those years ago.
