Blueberry Girl

I just bought an amazing book for me and my daughter. It's called "Bluebery Girl" by Neil Gaiman, with illstrations by Charles Vess. I never knew this book existed, even though I'm a fan. It is actually a picture book and the text is a poem which Neil wrote for Tori Amos when she was pregnant with her daughter. My girl is only three years old and she doesn't read, let alone in English, but I'm sure she will like the pictures. And one day, she will be old enough to understand the text. I really hope she will enjoy it as much as I do, and I hope that one day she will read it when her own kids are on the way. Gods, I wish I had this book when I was pregnant!
When I got home, I found this animated video, read by Neil himself.
