The First Fairy Tale: Book IV: Welcome to the Light
This is the fourth fairy tale in the series of stories designed to be read to babies while in mothers' wombs. Each of these tales is a metaphor for a part of the journey a new baby is undertaking to come into mother's arms. Reading these stories enhances the bond, the tie between mommy and baby, between parent and child. This is falling in love with your baby.
What greater gift can you give to your child while s/he is in your womb? Reading to baby acknowledges the consciousness and innate wisdom within the growing embryo. What greater gift can a father, grandmother, caring relative or friend, give to a pregnant woman than to support the bond between a mother and her unborn baby?
Research reveals that newborns remember stories that were read to them while they were in utero because they respond positively to the particular stories they heard. The First Fairy Tale: Book IV welcomes babies around the world as they come into the light. Read this tale to your baby before birth and continue to read it to your newborns and toddlers as they grow. Build your bond with your baby before and after birth-it's never too early.

Mark Sean Wilson demonstrates his diversity in artwork in Susan Highsmith's "The First Fairy Tale" where his talent in digital art is on full display. Mark has won numerous awards in his first few years with Inkwell productions and hopes his best work is still on the rise. Mark was quoted to say, "An artist is never truly satisfied with his own work and is always ready to break through that next level of creativity. It is nice to reflect, but for only a moment do we like to look back at our body of work. Then it's on to something we hope will break that next level. Susan's story is fantastic and original and I look forward to the sequels to follow." You can see all of Mark's work at: www.markerdoodle.com
