A new arrival

The story of a first year.

A storybook about the small person who just arrived — the people around the cradle, the small weather of a first season, the names whispered in the doorway.

What’s inside

The story Juno reaches for.

Arrival, the shape of the household around them, the first long look at the world.

  • a window in winter light
  • the names of the people in the room
  • a small hand finding a bigger one

Voice — Hushed. Awed. Specific to the household, not generic.
