celebrating the soul

A quiet gem of a book which not only shows families how to prepare for the conception and arrival of each new soul but also encourages them to stay spiritually bonded to each other and to a loving universe. Hopkins gently reminds us of all that is to be gained by dancing together in the precious garden of life.

The part that's missing in the "What to Expect..." aisle

Jill Hopkins' wonderful, simple prose is like a gentle laserbeam to what's important. This is not only a beautiful guide for raising our children, it's also a fine allegory of how we can nuture ourselves and our communities. My wife and I cried happily in almost every chapter.

Very moving

Great for expectant grandparents too

Moving and informative

You'll love this book, whether you're expecting your own child or just think our society needs to pay more attention to the place it saves for children. Jill Hopkins sounds like a gentle, fearless mother--and her book is a great guide to those of us who want to be, as well

Great for expectant dads

My wife and I are expecting a baby in August and there haven't been too many suggestions for what I can do to prepare--this book was suggested by friends and I think I liked it even more than my wife did. There are a lot of things you can do to really get ready for your baby, and really feel like you're preparing the way
