This is a prayer for a blueberry girl . . . A much-loved baby grows into a young woman: brave, adventurous, and lucky. Exploring, traveling, bathed in sunshine, surrounded by the wonders of the world. What every new parent or parent-to-be dreams of for her child, what every girl dreams of for herself. Let me go places that we've never been, trust and delight in her youth. Nationally bestselling author Neil Gaiman wrote Blueberry Girl for a friend who was about to become the mother of a little girl. Here, he and beloved illustrator Charles Vess turn this deeply personal wish for a new daughter into a book that celebrates the glory of growing up: a perfect gift for girls embarking on all the journeys of life, for their parents, and for everyone who loves them. Give her all these and a little bit more, gifts for a blueberry girl.

Blueberry Girl made me tear up as I read it to our toddler Sigourney. Such a beautiful "prayer" for a mom and soon-to-be-born daughter! Charles Vess' drawings are vibrant and visually interesting enough to hold the attention of an almost 3-year-old. And the message is empowering for daughters and mo...
A very sweet poem written for a friend who was expecting a baby girl. This would be a wonderful gift. Too bad everyone I know is having/just had BOYS.
I reviewed this in my blog. I like it and the pictures are very beautiful. I certainly recommend you to buy and read this together with your children!
Just beautiful and I loved it. Eldest girlchild did too.
