In this playful and whimsical children's book, Ellie is a strong-willed and curious unborn baby who is annoyed when she mistakes the thumping of her mother's heartbeat for someone knocking on a door, waking her from her nap. When she can't find a door anywhere, she yells "Come in " and is surprised when a woman calling herself her grandmother enters. Grandma explains that she is here to keep Ellie company for the next nine months until it's time for Ellie to meet her mother. With Ellie stuck on what she calls her "leash," she asks her Grandma to tell her a story. As they pass the time together, with Grandma telling Ellie stories of her mother's childhood, Ellie grows close to her grandmother, but then, her room starts to feel a little small. She thinks it might be time to go soon. But where will Grandma go? For parents wanting a unique way to explain life as it is created to their child, to those looking for guardian angels in the most unexpected places, little Ellie and her unexpected visitor provide a gentle, thoughtful look at life as it begins.
