On the day best-selling author Douglas Wood's first grandchild was born, he wanted to offer a heartfelt welcome. That welcome wise and warm and timeless moving from "the silver hems of the clouds" to the "treasures of the soul", is presented here as a gift of the heart to any Little One newly arrived in the world, and to the family who loves them. These are words to be kept and returned to again and again, treasured for a lifetime, and are stunningly paired with the images of gifted photographer Katharina Wood, Douglas's own daughter-in-law.
