Now That I'm Here

Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about what life was like before they arrived, or when you want to celebrate the chaotic joy of being a family. It is a perfect choice for affirming a child's place in the world and reinforcing that their presence has made their parents' lives infinitely better and more colorful. The story is told from the perspective of a bicultural child who observes how his parents used to live (clean, quiet, and perhaps a bit lonely) compared to the messy, loud, and love-filled reality of today. With vibrant illustrations and a humorous tone, it celebrates cultural heritage and the deep bond between parents and children. Best for ages 3 to 7, it provides a warm, secure foundation for children to understand their impact on the family unit.
