This inspirational book is an ode to the tender love that babies give and receive and reminds families everywhere always to make time to cherish and love each other.
"A picture-book celebration of babies and their individuality. Smooth cartoon illustrations with stardustlike detailing depict... characters (recurring) throughout the book, the ever present sparkles emphasizing the title's 'shine.'
