With new life comes infinite possibility, and as a gorilla family delights in their young child, they dream of everything their baby will encounter and who he will become. A companion to Matthew Cordell's stunning Wish, this picturebook picks up with a new animal family celebrating their little one as they imagine what the future holds. Praise for Wish

"This deceptively simple picture book packs an emotional wallop. . . . Readers of all ages will appreciate the combined messages of affirmation, hope, and reassurance."
-Booklist

"Cordell's . . . intensely personal account of parents awaiting the arrival of a child bubbles over with anticipatory joy."
-Publishers Weekly
