Book Description

Carl Sandburg

September 11, 2001, was a tragic day in American history. Lives were taken in an instant, our innocence, lost, and the world was forever changed. But on that same day came proof that life if a circle and that hope always exists, even in the darkest of circumstances: as with every other day, into the world were born new babies, bringings with them joy and love to light up the world.

In this uplifting, yet poignant book, book, Christine Pisera Naman, whose son, Trevor, was born on that fateful day, has gathered together striking black-and-white photos of her child and forty-nine other babies – from each state in the union – who share the same birthday. Gathered from each of the fifty states in the union, these shining faces give hope to our nation as its citizens reflect on the anniversary of September 11.

With simple eloquence, the author shares two messages of hope for each baby's future:

I hope that you find good in all people.

I hope you catch snowflakes on your tongue.

I hope you always have more than you need and share your plenty.

I hope you are someone's dream come true. Through the smiling photos of these precious babies, you will remember that, even in tragedy, there is always a ray of sunshine to light our way and give us the strength to go boldly and optimistically into the future. With new life, there is always hope.
