Everything alive starts out small as can be-- including vegetables, fruit, and babies like me! Your child is about to be a big brother or sister! But how do you explain what's happening inside Mommy's belly? Before I Was Born is a children's book for new siblings that explains how their baby brother or sister grows during pregnancy-first they're as big as a seed, then a pear, then as large as a watermelon! Pairing sweet illustrations with a melodic rhyme, this book is the perfect baby shower book or new sibling gift. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Corey Anne Abreau is a wife and mother of two boys, Cole and Carter.
