“Wish Baby” is a beautifully written book using simple phrasing suitable for young readers but carrying a strong message of hope and love. Would make the perfect gift for new mums or families of small children, but be warned, you will need to buy 2 copies as you will want to keep one for yourself. 💜 Judi
