About
This stunning collaboration between a children's librarian and an NBA-player-turned-watercolor-artist introduces readers to a collection of baby animals doing what comes naturally-nursing. The luminous illustrations and lyrical, bilingual text give children a glimpse into the worlds of 13 different mammal babies. Compelling childhood facts broaden the reader's knowledge about each species. Facts include: newborn bats consume their own weight in milk every day, and polar bear cubs are so small that they fit between the toes on their mama's paw.
The overarching theme of breastfeeding inspires conversations about parenting, biology, habitats, survival, and more, making this book an engaging choice for young children as well as elementary school readers.

Meet the Animals What a gentle book! It nurtures a child's empathy for others and opens their eyes to the world of nature. Very sweet and educational. It is extremely important for children to learn that nursing is natural and normal. With its gorgeous illustrations, Babies Nurse beautifully represents the art of breastfeeding. This beautiful book magnificently demonstrates the natural and instinctual connection between a mother and her offspring. Breastfeeding is the first step in cultivating a healthy mind, gut and spirit for both mommy and her little ones. As a pediatrician and mother, I appreciate the simple text paired with the lovely illustrations. Brilliant and inspiring! This very special book delights and enthralls young readers with its depictions of various mammals engaged in the act of nursing. Stunning illustrations convey the warmth and universality of this most nurturing bond. The verbal and visual artistry conjures heartfelt vignettes to which youngsters respond with intense curiosity, fascination and empathy. The back of the book contains a section that delivers detailed facts about each of the 13 species, information to which youngsters are highly receptive. Babies Nurse both satisfies and whets children's appetite for knowledge, providing a robust springboard into conversations about parenting, biology, habitats, survival, and the world at large. This book creates a safe space to explore normal infant feeding and bonding. It will entertain the tiniest toddler as well as older children who will love all of the interesting animal facts at the end. What a lovely way to promote healthy attitudes towards nurturing and feeding babies. Our culture desperately needs books like this to create positive images and stories around breastfeedi
