A poem written by Neil Gaiman illustrated by Charles Vess. This was originally written for Tori Amos' daughter Tash and Neil eventually published it which I am very glad about. It follows a much loved baby who grows into a woman, travelling the world and its wonders. It is the wishes a parent may have for their daughter and the daughers wishes as well.

These are some of my favourite of Vess's illustrations and it was such a beautiful poem. If we do decide to have children and one is a daughter I can definitely see myself reading them this poem before bed. Such a beautiful gift. ( )

Excellent picture book and the illustration is so awesome it's about a woman who prays for her friend's daughter using extronarly poety. it's live bold and expressive. it allows girls to dream big.

it was a really encouraging and inspiratinal book one i would love for my daughters to read as well actually the younger one read it and loved it.

I talk to the group about praying and achieving dreams.

A prayer for a girl who is "still just a bump". The illustrations of Charles Vess, with the Blueberry Girl surrounded by friendly animals, are wonderful. Neil Gaiman's lyrical words are beautifully written - his poem evokes the hopes of parents for the future life of their baby. A dreamy and uplifting story for younger children. ( )

An absolutely enchanting picture book. "This is a prayer for a blueberry girl."

My only complaint is that the font, which is gorgeous, is not particularly easy to read. ( )
