HELLO MOM

Written from the perspective of a fetus, HELLO MOM is as much a description of the miracle of life, as it is an intimate message from an unborn baby to her mother.

A fetus in utero poetically describes her physical development in this picture book.           

                                                                        

 

 

From genetic formation (“DNA strands combining…Chromosomes click / into place, / Designing my blueprint”) to her debut as a newborn, a fetus chronicles her experience using descriptive imagery and expressive language.

Utilizing active, rhythmic language (“Cells swirl and scatter, / Then whirl and settle”), Grimbeek offers educational insights into biological events…A lyrical and informative look at fetal development.


“

To see her single cell split into two identical cells and go from there on a journey of continual growth, step by step, exponentially multiplying and forming the intracasies of her uniqueness, is a marvel we watch unfolding in the secret confines of her mother's womb.
