'Hello Baby'
by Jenni Overend

"On a winter night, in a cottage far away from the town, Mum's baby is ready to be born. The midwife arrives and the whole family prepare for the home birth. In this honest and moving portrayal, Jenni Overend and Julie Vivas celebrate the birth of a baby at home with warmth and joy. This is a book for the whole family to share in preparation for a home birth or the arrival of a new baby. Note: This synopsis may refer to a different edition of this item." - http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=-184507110&matches=3&cm_sp=works*listing*title Note: Because the mother is giving birth this book contains some mild nudity.
