Whisper My Name

by Jay Wright

A baby girl makes sense of her brand new world, comprised solely of her parents love. In it, she wakes to her parents warm embrace and sleeps under their starry eyes. They are her sun and her moon. Their love is the air she breathes and carries the sweet whispers of her name as she begins to learn it herself. "Whisper my name" she reminds them, seeking the love and tenderness that comes along with that whisper, "I need to hear it from you."

Whisper My Name reflects on how precious a young child is and their reliance on their parents love. Every parent and grandparent knows the simple joy of earning a smile from a newborn and providing the love and comfort that encourages them to trust fully, snuggle our embrace, and find peace.

We at the Elephant Cloud never worked harder to elicit that smile and provide that peace. As we prepared for the birth of our granddaughter, those thoughts inspired this soft little poem.

Although probably geared more for newborns and toddlers - my kids of 8 and 10 love this book! The illustrations are captivating. And the words bring smiles to their faces. I just think older kids love remembering that they were once much-loved-babies new to the world!

I thought this was very sweet. I felt it conveyed a wonderful feeling. I could see this being a book I would read to my children/grandchildren at night before bed. I will be getting a few copies for gifts.
