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 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.
