Customer Reviews

Great gift!

I adore this book. One of my two favorite pregnancy books. The other one is The Miracle of Me. The Miracle of Me It's a beautiful book to explain pregnancy to young children in terms they can understand. Both of these are part of my family's most cherished collection.

Celebrating Motherhood Review

I bought this book for my friend's baby shower gift. I looked through it quite a bit before I gave it to her and really liked it. I have since heard from my friend and it sounds like she really likes it too. It's an ecclectic mix of quotes, stories, cultural traditions, and poems in celebration of motherhood.

A wonderful gift for the expectant mother

This book would make a fabulous gift for a woman who is expecting her first child. It is a book that can be enjoyed throughout pregnancy and the early months of motherhood. The book contains artwork and quotations from writings about what it means to be a mother and is designed to encourage a mother-to-be to reflect upon the amazing journey that she has embarked upon.

Lovely gift for a mom-to-be

This book would make a lovely gift for a mom-to-be, a book to be savored during the nine months of pregnancy and beyond. It's kind of like a crash course in motherhood for new moms, overflowing with thought-provoking readings on what it means to be a mother, but putting it that way makes it sound boring, which it is not at all. It's an amazingly poetic and beautifully designed book.

Like a comfy chair...

If you don't need information on the medical aspects of pregnancy or if you're like me and have a full shelf of expert opinions on motherhood and pregnancy, this might just be the book for you. It's short reading selections from a variety of sources and traditions, meant to keep you sane and centered during pregnancy and motherhood. I purchased it at about 7 months and feel like I will keep reading it after baby arrives. It's also a good gift idea for a pregnant friend who already has enough bouncy seats, pacifiers, diapers, baby doo-dads, and other "necessities."Read this book and recharge your Mommy batteries.
