THE JOURNEY TO MOTHERHOOD
In this heartfelt poem from blogger and Instagram sensation Sarah Molitor, the creative force behind @modernfarmhousefamily, readers get a glimpse into the journey a mother takes during pregnancy.
Inspired by her own pregnancy and filled with humor, I Grew With You vividly illustrates the growing bond between mother and child. Twelve beautiful, month-by-month scenes capture the beauty of childbearing and the miracle of life – from conception to baby's first day at home. Molitor helps show children that, during pregnancy, not only does the baby grow, but the mother grows, as well – emotionally, spiritually, and of course, physically.
Rich in diversity, I Grew With You showcases women of all ethnicities, shapes, and sizes as they share in the unifying experience that is pregnancy. Children will be able to read about the sweet, exciting, funny, and take-your-breath-away moments that their own mothers felt while bringing them into the world.
I Grew With You is a warm, heartfelt lullaby that reminds the mother and child of the precious road they traveled to meet each other, leaving both with a deepened sense of love and bonding.

Slight damage to book
The book itself is great! One of the two copies I ordered had black smudged on the top of the front cover and a bit on the back. The spine was also broken on one of the pages.

Book for Our Pregnant Daughter
We purchased this book for our daughter who is pregnant and expecting her first baby. I read it aloud to my husband and barely finished reading it when I started sniffling trying to hold back the tears. It was just what we wanted for her to be able to read to her own daughter.
