Ukrainian born New Jersey author Olga D’Agostino (who elects to use the moniker Mrs. D. for her books) has published over twenty award-winning children’s books She lives in Smithville, NJ, with her husband, Patrick with their four children and four grandchildren. Her unpredictable calico cat, Nyda, has been the inspiration for many of her stories.
In this charming BABY FROM THE MOON, beautifully illustrated by Julia Gabrielov, Mrs. D. offers a fantasy about Baby G who before his birth searches for a mommy in his dreams. ‘Once upon a time tiny Baby G lived under the Moon. He spent his days jumping from cloud to cloud and playing with little angels, who looked just like him. Laughing, he twirled in the sky and slid on the rainbow or rode through the sky on the winds passing by. At night, Moon rocked Baby G on a soft, fluffy cloud, which cradled him to sleep on its squishy blanket. The cheerful stars twinkled in the night sky, and Baby G cuddled beneath his cover while watching sweet dreams. He sweetly smiled when he saw all sorts of fun creatures that lived in the Moon.’
It is that sort of beautiful fantasy writing that fills this sweet book. Baby G dreams of a beautiful woman whom he wishes were his mommy. He asks the heavenly bodies to help him find his mommy and eventually the storks carry him to see a kind mother and the mother accepts Baby G in her womb until Baby G is born – very welcome on earth!
Baby from the Moon is available in print and as ebook!
