👩🏻‍🏫If you have visited my shop before, you know that as a former librarian, I love to write children’s rhymes and bring them to life using felt. This board book combines my passion for poetry, felt and children’s books.

🌈 I wrote I Knew You Before You Were Born as I watched my daughter take her midday nap when she was two years old. As someone who struggled with pregnancy loss, it was not my mind that convinced me to keep trying, but a feeling. A feeling that kept me believing even when everything around me gave me doubt. An instinct that grew stronger when I cleared my mind and connected with nature. I Knew You Before You Were Born is for anyone who has ever dreamed about, longed for, or believed with all their heart in the inevitability of the child in their arms.

📚 Because I would never give your child anything I would not give my own children, this book has been lab-tested for toxins in compliance with the Consumer Product Safety and Improvement Act (CPSIA) and ASTM F963-23 Standard Consumer Safety Specifications for Toy Safety. The book has received a Children’s Product Certificate verifying it is safe for your baby or child to enjoy. (CPC No. WDX23120404ENCPC)

CHILD'S NAME - A child's name is one of the first words a child learns to recognize and spell and they LOVE seeing it!

MIRROR - Babies and toddlers LOVE seeing their own reflection and helps develop visual senses in babies.

THICK BOARD COVER & PAGES - Paperback books are harder to use and easily torn by little hands. Board books are made with thick, firm pages ideal for little hands to turn pages, and play with without worrying about them tearing the book.

SAFETY - Babies and toddlers love putting things in their mouths and biting on them. While this book is not intended as a teething toy, it has been thoroughly tested and certified as safe and toxin-free.
