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.
