"Mama's Little Baby should be on every parent-to-be's reading list. This is truly a wonderfully inspiring, knowledgeable, and creative way to teach parents the art of child care. The pictures and drawings are great, and I loved the way the different quotes and informative notes stand out, begging to be read more. I loved Mama's Little Baby."    -Julia Boyd, author of In the Company of My Sisters and Embracing the Fire This is a fascinating book that is beneficial to all African-American expectant parents. Not only is there an abundance of useful information about pregnancy and the body, but it addresses important cultural, spiritual,mand emotional issues. It is a terrific guide." -James P. Comer, M.D., Maurice Falk Professor of Psychiatry, Yale University "Pregnancy, childbirth, and baby's first year are exhilarating events that can present anxiety, concerns, and many challenges.
