Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Nancy self-published her first book, On the Night You Were Born, in 2005. Her goal with On the Night You Were Born, and subsequent books, has always been to give parents words to say what they feel about their children. Nancy’s illustrations are created digitally using dozens of layers of illustrative elements. These layers are eventually merged to form a composite, at which point texture and mixed media are applied.

Nancy’s books are published by Feiwel and Friends, an imprint of Macmillan. Thus far five of her books have been New York Times bestsellers.

Nancy lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, a pug and a Swiss Mountain Dog. She’d have a giraffe if she could, but her husband won’t let her.

The night after, the night he was born.
5 Stars
The night after, the night he was born.
While I was pregnant my husband and I had a tradition going in which he would read a book every Tues/Thurs to my belly since he was across the country for work, so that the baby would become familiar with his voice. So when our baby was born 6 weeks early and had to spend some time in the NICU my husband made sure to read to him (in person of course) on the night after he was born and this was the book I had chosen for that moment and I have absolutely no regrets doing so! It was truly a special moment watching my husband read this to our baby in the NICU.Ultimately this was a very wonderful book. So very sweet and memorable in telling a story to your child of how very special and loved he or she is. The artwork in this book flows beautifully throughout. I will most likely buy a hard copy of this book rather than just having it just on my kindle. Its truly a book we will keep with us for years to come.

I give this book my highest rated review. It's become the book to accompany every baby gift I give. The message is so wonderful, and something that every child should hear...from the beginning of life. What a joy to have Nancy Tillman writing such wonderful, life-affirming books for children. She's a brilliant author.

I ordered this book as part of a baby shower gift for a friend. It’s a great book and a wonderful quality. When we had our daughter, this was one of our favorite books to read to her when she was little. The story itself is cute and great for any baby/toddler parent.

Hands down my favorite book to give a baby showers! The book has a beautiful lyrical rhyme to it, gorgeous illustrations, such a sweet message for little ones and anyone really. My best friend listed it as her son’s favorite book at his first birthday party. It’s truly a book that can be just as enjoyable for the reader as it is for the child, perhaps even more. It’s also not as mainstream classic as some, so the parents don’t end up with duplicates - though I hope it will be some day because every child should own this book!
