thE VerY LiTtle giRl
This book is one of our family favorties. I checked out at a library when we were living in New Orleans. I searched for about 6 months to find it and found a used copy online. It is a wonderful little book and would make the perfect baby gift for a mother who has a little girl and is having a little boy. The back of the book says,
Smaller than a rosebush
Smaller than a kitchen stool
She was "the very little girl"
But then something happened.
and the end of the book she becomes a big sister to her little brother. The illustration is by Ninon. I tried to do a little research on them but came up with nothing. But the drawing in this book are incredible. The only colors used are black, white, lime green and pink. (you know i am going crazy)
I found one an an auction right now for $3.75. Great deal. Someone is also selling one on ebay for $50.00. But it would be a fun book to look up next time you go to the library and even more fun to track down for a friend who has a little girl who is going to have a boy. ( I bought it for that reason for us but no boys in our house, just girls.

It sounds sweet and cute. We'll see if they have it at our library, but it's doubtful.

That looks so cute! Now I have to find a copy, because my sister has a little girl and is convinced her next baby will be a boy (thanks to Jill's ring test). Her nursery is pink and lime green and I'm sure she would love this book!
