My Milk Will Go, Our Love Will Grow: A book for weaning, by Jessica Elder (Heart Words Press, 2019, 40 pages, ages 1-3, $12.34)
A lovely memory, a long repeated poem to a child about the time when he was just a baby (the poetry is effortless, the mark of a professional). As a baby grows into a toddler, that specific closeness he once had with his mother is gone, to be replaced with growing, evolving love so the child need not fear that he is alone. The closeness changes in form and develops into hugs and cuddles. Mother is there to help wipe away tears and to explore the exciting new world with.
Tips for using the book appear at the end and may be incredibly helpful.
Our only comment might be to change illustrators with the next reprinting though some pages are perfect as is.
