Every family has its own traditional newborn book. In my family it was always Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, pictures by Cement Hurd. Every newborn in our circle of family and friends could count on receiving at least one copy, and usually several (hardcover, softcover, board book — my daughter even got one with slippers that matched the ones from the book!). I had always assumed I would continue that tradition; but I’ve changed my mind.
