sweet and comforting with some positive points
unless visually impaired you will probably not listen more than a couple of times. although it does have a soothing quality and is positive and comforting I'd go with a toddler hard neck for this one.

How incredibly beautiful!
This is a sweet meaningful "meditation" (it isn't actually a meditation but there is something meditative about it) for anyone with kids but most especially for new parents. There is something so scary about the world today which is especially felt as a parent. Oliver Jeffers shares his experience of love and protectiveness as a father with the listener in a tender and peaceful way. Loved it!!!
