Waiting for Gregory  Cover Image Book Book

Waiting for Gregory / Kimberly Willis Holt ; illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska.

Holt, Kimberly Willis (Author). Swiatkowska, Gabi, (illustrator.).

Summary:

A young girl eagerly awaits the birth of her baby cousin, while growing more and more confused by the way her relatives answer her questions. When exactly is cousin Gregory going to be born? asks little Iris. Each family member has a different answer to her question. While she's waiting for what seems like forever, Iris thinks about all the exciting things she and her new cousin will someday do together. And given Iris' vibrant imagination, there's no telling what to expect. National Book Award winner Kimberly Willis Holt offers a unique take on some of the traditional and not-so-traditional myths surrounding a baby's arrival, with an extra layer of imagination added by Gabi Swiatkowska's fresh and whimsical paintings.
