     This compelling, powerful, and inspiring collection of songs and images
 will honor the moving, tender, and unbreakable bond of love that exists
 between a mother and her baby. With a scheduled release date of October 2004,
 this outstanding body of work will be available for distribution through music
 sellers and booksellers worldwide. Distinctive product releases are planned
 for both industries. Celine notes, "I've always been a huge fan of Anne
 Geddes. Long before I became a mother, I admired and appreciated the beautiful
 way she photographs babies. It's wonderful to be able to work with her on this
 very special project which celebrates children."
     "Each new life is truly a miracle," comments Anne. "I photograph babies to
 portray and promote the absolute promise of a newborn, the powerful potential
 of a child to be an extraordinary human being. It is both a pleasure and a
 privilege to create the Miracle project with Celine, whose vocal artistry
 completely captures our shared love for children. Together we are creating a
 truly unique and special concept."
     Both artists agree, "Miracle comes straight from our hearts."

 playing to sold-out audiences since its opening on March 25, 2003, at The
 Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
