A book of dreams and wishes for a new born child, this wonderful celebration of the birth of a child is the perfect christening or 'birth day' gift.

Description

A much-loved baby grows into a young woman: brave, adventurous and lucky. Exploring, travelling, bathed in sunshine, surrounded by the wonders of the world. What every new parent or parent-to-be dreams of for their child and what every girl dreams of for herself.

Neil Gaiman wrote 'Blueberry Girl' for a friend who was about to become the mother of a little girl. Here, he and beloved illustrator Charless Vess turn this deeply personal wish for a new daughter into a book that celebrates the glory of growing up.
