Description
The first night that one line transformed into two, my heart skipped a beat, then began beating for you.
Our children may grow out of the laps that they sit on and the arms that hold them, but they will never grow out of the place they have in our hearts. From the first night they lay on our chest, to the many other firsts of life, to long after they've grown up and left the nest, our hearts are always their homes, and they are forever our babies.
First Night depicts this cherished connection between mom and baby from one heart to the other. With soft, warm illustrations and a narrative capturing the beginning of pregnancy, the baby being born, the child growing up, and everything in between, this touching tale will deeply resonate with any mother and will remind every child that they are completely and unconditionally loved--as they were from their very first heartbeat.

Sasha Saidman is a cherished voice in children's literature, weaving tales of wonder and wisdom from her home in the vibrant heart of the Washington, D.C., area. Alongside her devoted husband and their two delightful children, Sasha crafts stories that celebrate the diverse tapestry of families, drawing from her own unique journey through life.
Adopted into a loving family through an open adoption, Sasha's early experiences have imbued her with a deep appreciation for the myriad ways families come together, a theme that radiates through her enchanting narratives. Despite facing the challenges of dyslexia, which made the written word a formidable puzzle in her youth, Sasha's indomitable spirit saw her transcend these early obstacles. Her journey from a high school dropout to a GED achiever stands as a testament to her resilience and determination, qualities that have guided her path to becoming a beloved children's author.
Sasha's work is more than just storytelling; it's an invitation to embrace life's adventures and to find joy in every moment. Her personal mantra--to change what doesn't bring joy--infuses her writing with an infectious optimism that encourages young readers to seek happiness and fulfillment in their pursuits.
An adventurer at heart, Sasha and her family find freedom on the trails, riding dirt bikes and motorcycles, with even the youngest members joining in the fun. Her artistic soul finds expression not only in her writing but in her love for theater and the visual arts, adding layers of depth to her creative endeavors.
At the core of Sasha's world is her family, the anchor and inspiration for her storytelling. Through her captivating books, she aspires to light a spark of courage and joy in the hearts of children and adults alike, encouraging all to embrace their own stories with love and acceptance.
