The Warmest Wait — A Gentle Story About Surrogacy (Picture Book)

A full-color picture book about surrogacy, written for little ones.

Sisi and Tavo have a nest of smooth pebbles and a long wait behind them. Their friend Pim has the warmest feet on the ice — feet that can hold something small and precious. Through one long, cold winter, Pim keeps one small egg safe while two hopeful parents wait for the baby they have loved since before it was even here.

A gentle, honest story for the children at the heart of these families: the babies who were carried, the siblings who wondered, and the little ones who ask good questions at bedtime.
