Homebirth books for siblings?

[dawncayden]

We are liking:

Runa's Birth
Welcome with Love

are there anymore out there?


I actually wrote one myself but cannot find an illustrator for the pictures
...and a homebirth book for kids NEEDS pictures

Moved to Homebirth.

I've been saying for the last year that I want to write one.

Thanks for the suggestions

That would be cool if Mothering wrote a homebirth book or had a contest and published mama's stories. We totally need more of this kind of book for our little ones.

Though it's not a kid's book nor specifically about homebirth, my daughter loves "Your Amazing Newborn". It has great photos of babies right after birth, talks about their abilities and some photos of siblings, too.

We like All the Places to Love
and
Hello Baby (formerly Welcome with Love) by Jenni Overend

We also have
We have a Baby - shows nursing mother
and
Waiting for Baby
and
My New Baby
The first two are the only that clearly show home birth but the others have nursing moms, helpful fathers and babywearing.

Oh and someone when I was looking posted a coloring book for siblings about homebirth. I will see if I can find the link.

you guys are lucky to find these at the library! ours don't seem to have any other than the sears book.

we've been looking at pictures and videos online about HB, and generally just talking up which kids we know who were born at home.
