Without You

I'm been reading books to the baby recently and I came across one that I especially like. It's called "Without You" by Sarah Weeks. The book opens with a little background on the emperor penguin's hatching process during the Antarctic winter. The story proceeds from the vantage point of this little unhatched penguin, protected by his father. Here are my favorite excerpts from this book:

"I feel a little funny inside.
My mamma's far away.
Nothin' but sea ice for miles around.
You close your eyes to the blinding sleet.
But here I am warm as toast,
Balancing on your feet.
Where would I be,
What would I do,
Who in the world would see me through...
Where would I be,
What would I do,
Without you?"

I just wanted to share this special book with all of you. I can only hope that my little one feels as safe, secure and loved as this little penguin does. I purchased this book from Scholastic, but have seen it on Amazon.com as well.
