You will always be the first…

Patricia MacLachlan, beloved Newbery Medal-winning author, brings her tender, lyrical voice to the most precious moments of early parenthood in this heartfelt picture book. You Were the First is a gentle celebration of all those unforgettable milestones—first smiles that light up a room, first cuddles that make time stand still, and yes, even that first sweet kiss that melts your heart completely.

This isn’t just a book about a baby’s firsts. It’s about your firsts as a parent, too. MacLachlan captures the wonder and overwhelming love that comes with watching a little one discover the world, one moment at a time. Her spare, poetic text reads like a lullaby, making this a perfect choice for bedtime snuggles or quiet afternoon reads in the nursery.

Ideal for:

  • Baby showers and new parent gifts
  • Big siblings adjusting to a new family member
  • Grandparents wanting to share something meaningful
  • Anyone who wants to preserve the magic of those fleeting early days

Whether you’re nestled in our shop by the cove or browsing from home, this is one of those books that becomes part of your family’s story. It’s the kind of treasure you’ll pull off the shelf years later, remembering when those tiny hands first reached for yours. You Were the First honors the extraordinary beauty hidden in ordinary moments—and reminds us that some firsts last forever.
