Babies Bond celebrates the unique connection moms have with their babies. The haiku narrative is simple enough for the youngest child, yet poetic and descriptive, allowing the adult reader to enjoy the beautiful words that accompany the lovely watercolor illustrations. Fun facts included at the end are a great way to learn even more about animal babies. A blue whale calf drinks over fifty gallons of its mother's milk per day! No doubt Babies Bond will become a treasured part of your book collection, one to be passed on to future generations." </em>- Torey Potter, RN, BSN, IBCLC</p><p><br></p><p><em>"Babies Bond introduces young children to haiku poetry and exquisite illustrations that demonstrate the bond between mother and baby. It would be beneficial for all families to have a copy of this beautiful book." </em>- Katie Finney, NICU Nurse, St. Joseph's Hospital, Phoenix, AZ</p><p><br></p><p><em>"Babies Bond</em> is embellished with colorful watercolor paintings by retired NBA star Jim Fox and line drawings by Rachel Luman. These enhance a gentle, lovely picture book of haiku poems describing various mammal babies and how they bond with their mothers through nursing. From an ocean mother's "flippers that stroke the sea" while her calf nurses, to a hungry little hippo that "guzzles milk" underwater, Phoebe Fox provides a fine celebration of creatures that share this special bonding experience. The diversity of selected animals, from manatees and hippos to possums, alpaca, giraffes, and kangaroos is to be commended, along with the terminology that helps even the youngest reader identify specific names for different animal babies ( 'joeys', 'crias', and 'calves'). 'Did You Know?' facts at the end of the book provide added details about each featured animal and how they nurse, while a concluding bibliography of reading resources, for both natural history and breastfeeding, offers parents and children the opportunity to learn more. Jim Fox's gorgeous paintings are as powerful as Phoebe Fox's gentle descriptions of each animal pair. Together, the two have created a gorgeous book, perfect for reading aloud to the very young, that encourages gentle contemplation of breastfeeding's special bond between babies and mothers." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review</p><br>
