Hi guys,
I'm looking for a book that I read a good 10 years ago but couldn't for the life of me remember the book title or the author. It was about a baby getting kidnapped and the story centred around the mother's search for the baby and the extent she is willing to go and how the search changed her. If memory serves me right, it was like she was willing to kill or something..
Would love to read this book again so any help will be much appreciated!

I think it had “miracle” in the title and it was sometime in the mid 80’s to early 90’s. A mother has a car accident, the car goes on fire, she can’t get the car seat out but a Good Samaritan does and I remember she originally wished the baby wasn’t rescued because he was so badly burned. Lots of surgeries and the baby lived but had burns all over.

I originally posted this question on the

whatwasthatbook community, but, assuming this is a carry over of that com, it doesn't look like any of the original posts were imported here, so I'll re-post it here. I'm not certain I ever got an answer there.

A long time ago there was this picture book I read as a kid that for some reason remains stuck in my head. It's about an older sister who has to deal with who I think is her newborn sister and her worn out parents. There's a side-story about her desire to become a grown up and wanting a pair of shoes from the shoe store she can't quite fit into yet because her feet are too small and she hasn't had a growth spurt.

I remember my grandmother use to read me to my from a storybook one of the stories involved a Queen who was traveling by boat and was kidnapped by trolls(?) and a witch(?) took her place. But for three nights the real queen was permitted to visit her baby, she'd come up through the floor wearing rags and just hold her baby all night, and eventually was set free (the king broke the chains with a sword) and the imposter killed(?)

Bonus points if you can help me find the the storybook it comes from (it also had a version of the 12 dancing princesses in it, that's all I remember)
