“Words like precious jewels are reflected by the sparkling illustrations in this timeless book by Tonya Simpson and Delreé Dumont. A gentle and lyrical celebration of the beauty of welcoming a new life into the world, This Land is a Lullaby calls upon themes of interconnectivity, parenthood and belonging. A gift to be treasured by all who encounter its warmth.”
