German Folklore informs us that households would notify the stork when they wanted children by placing sweets on their windowsills. The stork would 'find' the babies in a cave or marsh and then bring them to expectant parents in a basket held in their beaks. It's nothing like how we really get new babies, but the sweet history associated with this folklore makes for a terrific Lori Mitchell figure called "SPECIAL DELIVERY-IT'S A GIRL." It's great to give as a gift to a new mother expecting a daughter!
