A story to read to a baby aged 0 to 2: their parents introduce them to the world, from the islands and ancient forests to the whales, the volcanoes and the moon that says goodnight. It’s the full story from our personalized book “Welcome to the World”, scene by scene, with its illustrations.
It takes about 7 minutes to read aloud. If you’re short on time tonight, there’s a 2-minute version at the end.
Welcome to the world, Lucía. This is a big place, full of wonders.
Each day will bring new sounds, new colors, new feelings. Wherever you look, something new will be waiting for you.
But you don’t need to hurry. The world is not running away.
This is your beginning.
And step by step, you will learn that growing up is not about rushing forward; it is about enjoying the journey.

Look, Lucía: when the sun rises, it paints the sky in gold and pink.
A new day begins, and the whole world wakes up.
This world is full of beautiful places and gentle creatures, and discovering them now will help your heart grow curious and brave.
Far away, the islands rest under the sun. Palm trees sway gently, heavy with coconuts.
The sand shines, soft and white, and the endless sea glows in shades of turquoise.
In places like this, time seems to slow down, and smiles come easily.
In the ancient forests, trees rise high toward the sky.
Light dances between the leaves, squirrels hop from branch to branch and deer walk quietly below.
This is their home, peaceful and full of life.
The forests are old and wise. They teach us to listen and to be patient.
There are animals of every kind in this world, and some of the greatest live beneath the sea.
Down below, the water moves quietly, while huge whales rise and leap into the air, drawing arcs of water back to the sky.
Far to the south, the air turns cold.
Penguins walk together, side by side, patiently sharing warmth.
Even here, where the world is frozen, warmth is found in staying close, in caring for one another, just like we will always care for you, Lucía.
In the jungle, life is everywhere.
Parrots sing. Monkeys leap. Flowers bloom in a thousand colors.
Nothing stays still for long, and everything finds its own way to shine.
Across the open lands of the savanna, golden grass sways beneath a wide sky.
Elephants move slowly, calm and steady. They live as families, walking together and caring for one another, just as we do.
Because in this world, Lucía, family is what gives us strength.
Some places are shaped by fire, like volcanoes.
Most of the time, they rest quietly, but from time to time they wake and let rivers of melted stone flow.
Over time, these rivers cool and make space for new beginnings.
In the desert, sand glows beneath the sun. Golden dunes stretch as far as the eye can see.
Camels move slowly, knowing when to rest and when to move on.
When night arrives, the heat softens and the stars wake up.
Above the world, the Northern Lights drift slowly.
Green, purple and blue weave together, like a gentle lullaby sung by the Earth itself.
Lucía, in places like this, the air feels magical.
Beneath the sea, coral reefs burst into a celebration of color.
Light filters through the water, illuminating fish of every shape and color. Corals serve as small homes for them.
Here, everything moves in harmony.
Each night, the moon shines above the world. Its soft light reaches oceans, forests, mountains and cities alike.
Quietly, it whispers to the Earth that the day has ended.
Animals rest, lights turn out, and the world falls asleep.
Lucía, this world is full of wonders, and your arrival added one more.
Sometimes it might feel big and overwhelming. When it does, remember this:
We are always here for you, holding your hand, loving you more than words can ever say.
Our love for you is as constant as the moon, as steady as the mountains, as wide as the world itself.
Welcome to our world, Lucía.
We have been waiting for you.
