A children's book with a homebirth

[Shonahsmom]

I saw this last night at a book store. Its called "Waiting for the Sun" about a little girl waiting for her brother to be born. I flipped through it. Beautiful illustrations. Very matter of fact about the homebirth, as in its not the central theme of the story. It mentions the midwife showing up before the little girl falls asleep and her waking up in the morning hearing him cry.

Yeah, I'll have to get that book!! I like "Welcome with Love" by Jenni Overend, too. Great, beautiful illustrations (mom gives birth vertically).
