Reviews
"Both Van Camp's words and Flett's illustrations are economical, but We Sang You Home is not a quick read. Instead, each of the paired pages of text and illustration truly demands that the reader pause and reflect on the pages' contents. Highly recommended."
"The emotions of parenthood--including feelings of love, elation, and gratitude--are certain to be conveyed to [children] by the parents who share this tale with them. A lovely picture book that will resonate with parents and show young readers the profound, positive impact they have on their parents' lives."
"Babies and toddlers love to be loved, and they will also love to see themselves and their parents reflected in the beautiful pages of this book."
"A great strength of this book is that it is nonspecific and inclusive enough to encompass all new babies--arriving through birth, fostering, or adoption--and it does not specify gender...The whole message is one of love, welcome, and completion now that the young one has joined the family. The eye-catching illustrations hint at a non-specific non-white race for the family (could be Asian, First Nations, Inuit, etc.), making this book inclusive and encompassing of Canada's ethnic diversity...It is a book of thankfulness and hope that would make a wonderful addition to the preschool collection in a library. Highly recommended."
"A sweet and loving board book...The parents' certainty that their baby is 'the best of all of us' is an affirmation every baby should hear.'
"A beautiful welcome and a thank you to the Indigenous child who brings joy into the parents' lives."
