September 11, 2001, will forever be etched into our memories as a day of tragedy and despair. Yet, in spite of the fact that so many lives were lost in an instant, there is hope for our future. It lives in the innocence and beauty of newborn babies; proof that life is a circle and that hope always exists, even in the direst of circumstances.
In this delightful book, Christine Pisera Naman, whose son Trevor was born on that fateful day, has gathered together striking black-and-white photos of her child and forty-nine other babies who share the same birthday. Gathered from each of the fifty states in the union, these shining faces give hope to our nation as its citizens reflect on the anniversary of September 11.
With simple eloquence, the author shares two wishes that she has for each little one, such as:
I hope that you find good in all people. I hope you catch snowflakes on your tongue. I hope you always have more than you need and share your plenty. I hope you are someone's dream come true.Through the smiling photos of these precious babies, readers will remember that, even in tragedy, there is always a ray of sunshine. With new life, there is always hope.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated the Twin Towers Orphan Fund Charity.

Introduction
Having a baby on any day is a special experience; having a baby on September 11, 2001, was especially unique.
Every new mother cradles her newborn in her arms on the day that it is born and wonders what kind of world she has just brought this tiny, innocent little being into. Every new mom spends at least a few moments on her baby's first evening of life wondering what kind of world we live in. Mothers who gave birth on September 11, 2001, were no exception. They just had more company with their wondering than most new mothers do.
Almost everyone sat somewhere that night wondering what type of world we were living in.
I did, too. As I sat in my bed on the maternity floor of a Pennsylvania hospital holding my newborn son, Trevor, I, too, was wondering what type of world I had brought this sweet little baby into. While I held him, caressing his tiny fingers and toes, marveling at his perfection, I prayed it was a good one.
As the television in the corner of the room droned on relentlessly, the experts took turns trying to explain the unexplainable tragedy that had rocked the world.
I wiped a tear from my eye for the victims whose lives had been cut short with so much life left yet to enjoy. My heart ached for the victims' families who were living their worst fear. I cried for the children whose parents were explaining with words what no childrens' ears should ever have to hear-that someone that they loved was now gone-while my own husband was home explaining to my children about the birth of their brother and the miracle of new life.
