Welcome Precious by Nikki Grimes, illustrated by Bryan Collier.

This picture book features one of Nikki Grimes' incredible poems.  Her words are always a magical combination of reality and metaphor.  In this poem, a baby is being welcomed into the world, a world of rainbows, warmth, sun, moon, and kisses.  Collier's paintings are equally as magical as he matches the wonder of the poetry page by page. 

Give this one as a baby gift.  It encapsulates all you would wish for a new baby to have.  It can also be shared as a first picture book, though the parents will love it most.
