"The CD box set includes a 60 page version of the 180-page book, "Miracle : A Celebration of New Life," the "Miracle" cd, and a "Making of the CD" dvd."
Celine Dion's straight-from-the-heart, sincerity-stung singing, woven together with Anne Geddes' visual gifts, perform a neat symbiotic trick. If you never quite got Geddes' photographs (not everyone can find artistic merit in lineups of sleepyheaded newborns dressed as bumblebees), or if Celine's vocals seemed over-the-top emotional, this package irons out the separate but unsinkable appeal of both artists with drawstring-like efficiency. On the DVD, Celine's vocals are the musical equivalent of comfort food, zapping the weirdness out of the babies-as-blooms sequences with raw maternal warmth. And Geddes' playful images — the title track tucks a newborn into a lotus leaf, and "What a Wonderful World" blazes to life in bouquets of red rose bonnets — leavens Celine's swollen-hearted delivery with whimsy. Miracle's subtitle is A Celebration of New Life, and while Geddes and Dion go at it with opposite M.O.s, they meet in the middle with a box set to be prized for its exploration of the shades of a parent's love. There are a couple of reasons not to keep this package cribside, though: For one, the urge to stare dreamily at a sleeping newborn while Celine's stunning rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" plays notwithstanding, her note-pounding delivery is at times un-lullaby-like. For another, the images gathered in the 57-page booklet that accompanies the DVD and CD are too captivating to risk dampening with drool. — Tammy La Gorce

- She calls this a miracle?
- Some old fart blows his beans up her muff and the end result is a 'miracle'? Give me a break. If that's a miracle, so is taking a dump...which is pretty much equivalent to the entire recorded output of this overmarketed, overrated, so-full-of-herself commercial twit. More reviews
- A Beautiful Miracle
- This is simply the best for a new mom, and the pics are beautiful with music by Celine that will amaze. My neice just had a new baby girl, and she loved this gift I gave her.Because ALL Babies are truly a miracle.

- If you love Geddes, consider upgrading your purchase
- If you love the photographs of Anne Geddes, I'd recommend buying the larger 180 page book. The small 60 page booklet is only a teaser. Either you love her photos (in which case you'll want the larger book) or you only like her photos (in which case, the booklet won't do much for you, and you might… More reviews
