A way for attachment parents to prepare baby's siblings!

This book has wonderful illustrations of a mother nursing (along with cats), babies inside the womb, cosleeping kids, and even shows casually the difference between boys and girls *grins*! The illustrations are so magical and beautiful. At the end, it appears that the mother even has had a home birth. It's a great book for natural parents!

happy birthday.....

Some very strict parents might not choose this book for their children. I carefully avoided the V word on page 29. My children are too young to know everthing about giving birth just yet. This is a wonderfuly illustrated book that makes me wonder how anyone denies God and Right to Life ! This is a beautiful book. I loved being pregnant and this helps the whole family to understand how Mommy feels and loves the new baby even before he/ she is born.
