First Morning Sun: A Book of Firsts
CCBC Review:
Paired rhyming statements track a child from birth (“First morning sun. First day begun. / First tiny cry. / First lullaby.”) through traditional milestones (“First baby talk. First shaky walk.”) to other less conventional moments (“First scraped-up knee. First climbing tree.”). On the final page the celebrated child welcomes a newcomer: “First sibling new. More firsts for two.” Digitally created illustrations sporting a cheerful palette and bold outlines feature a family that appears to be Asian. ©2022 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
