When my daughter was born, within several weeks she was staring at the ceiling fans around the house. Constantly mesmerized, she made me wonder about her little view of the world she had just entered and inspired me to write about this. It is a simple book, but the words and images capture that wonder and amazement of the initial months after the birth of a child. And it was a family effort as my wife’s dad and my niece and nephew are the illustrators. I wrote it from an infant’s point of view (my best estimation of course) and I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading this book to your child as he or she stares towards that whirling fixture. One of the few children's books made and printed in the USA! Personal dedication upon request.
