I’d give it 6 stars if I could. It’s the perfect companion for the family who is welcoming a new baby into the comfort and safety of their home, in a way that includes the older sibling(s). Throughout the book, the daughter is actively involved in her mother’s birth prep and labor process, ultimately ending in a beautiful family-centered, mother-led water birth. It builds context within which birth should be understood - it is exciting and normal and safe. The illustrations of the mom breastfeeding peacefully in the bed with a tray of food and tea that her support team brought to her is the cherry on top, showing her daughter that *this* is what postpartum support looks like: serving the mother so she can bond with Baby and serve her own body with rest. 11/10 recommend!

Great book
My 2 year old has been living this book since we first found out we were expecting. She’s 2.5 now and she’s very ready to be there at our upcoming birth. The book shows mom having a midwife and a doula, laboring, birthing baby in the birth pool, the placenta, the newborn exam, and even bedsharing. It’s perfect.
