Birth Pool In A Box

This 32-page book introduces the idea of a home water birth to the children of a pregnant woman, with the wonderful story of a young boy with a natural curiosity about the arrival of a sibling. The book is for parents with one or more children planning a water birth at home for the forthcoming birth of their next child. Appropriate for ages 2+ : the main character, Oliver, is 4.

Sample text: -The baby was going to be born in water, in a special pool in the kitchen. -"Will the baby know how to swim?" asked Oliver. -"When babies are born in the water, they know how to hold their breath and the baby will not have to swim on his own," said Oliver's daddy. -"That's good," said Oliver. He was relieved. He loved to swim, but he wouldn't want to swim on his own! - "

..all four of my children, aged between 2 and 9, enjoyed it at their own level. We wanted to read this book again and again..." - Vicki Williams, Editor in AIMS Journal.
