Description
Pediatrician and literacy advocate Dr. Mariana Glusman has created a unique fusion of baby book and parenting guide that every caregiver will find indispensable. It combines gorgeous black-and-white portraits of parents and newborns with a read-aloud poem, accompanied by hints on how to increase communication with infants and educational material on early brain development.
The book is informed by deep knowledge about infants, great empathy for parents, and an understanding that the interaction between babies and those who love them is the key ingredient for optimal brain development in children.
Dr. Glusman recruited her mother, Dr. Marta Killiner, a photographer and retired pediatrician, to take the portraits, which perfectly illustrate the beauty and intensity of relationships between caregivers and babies.
