I Loved You Before I Met You

A new baby entering a family can create all sorts of emotions for little people. Sharing toys and parents, and the concept of the unknown can raise lots of questions for them.

I Loved You Before I Met You tells the heartwarming story of how one little girl gained a sister and, in doing so, gained a best friend and the greatest teammate of all! This precious book in verse has been written to help families introduce and discuss the idea of a sibling (or two), and to help families laugh and love together.

Filled with gorgeous real-life photos from our own family journey, the book especially celebrates the concept of sisterhood, the magic of pregnancy, and those early years together as a young family. It also contains some funny highlights from two little people testing their mother's patience!

This 34 page rhyming book will help little people talk about what they are looking forward to, or enjoy the most, about being a big brother or sister. May you and your little ones enjoy this gorgeous paperback as much as the little girl's in the book enjoy each other's company. May this book bring love and laughter to your bedtime stories.

Please note: the book contains an actual 3D picture of a baby inutero.
