Baby Badger (Adventures in Fosterland)
by Hannah ShawFrom New York Times bestselling author Hannah Shaw—also known as Kitten Lady—comes the third book in an exciting and heartwarming chapter book series following a small cat who&’s not sure what to make of new kitten arrivals!

There, baby Badger is still an orphan, but he has a cozy house filled with stuffed animal friends who become his family. With Miss Moose, Teddy, and Monsieur Crocodile by his side, Badger has everything he needs. Then, a cat named Mama Mia and her five kittens join him! And Badger isn&’t sure what to think of his new roommates. They do all sorts of confusing things: the kittens eat from their mom instead of from a bottle like him, and they lick each other. So odd! But as Leeni, Mia&’s sassy and bold kitten, begins to befriend Badger, he&’ll have a decision to make—stay in his cozy, safe space with his stuffed animals, or risk it all for a friendship with his potential new pals.

Baby Brother
by Tanneke WigersmaFrom Children's Literature written by Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz The timeless tale of the arrival of a new baby in the family is told with a different twist, as a young girl writes to her grandma. Her letter is filled with news of her cat, Stripe, who has developed "a big belly" and is no longer afraid of the neighbor's dog. Finally Stripe becomes restless, settles in the box made for her, and has five "very cute" little "stripes." As the brief text goes along the double pages following the activities of the cat, an additional visual story is being told as we see the mother, obviously pregnant as well, preparing a bassinet but ignored by the girl. Her final words to her grandma: "By the way, I also have a new baby brother" show her priorities. The spare text is accompanied by a minimal visual tale. Ink lines and transparent watercolors define only the main characters and a few props set against the white pages. The warm, happy scenes draw us into the girl's happy acceptance of the natural events. School Library Journal
Baby Brother's Blues
by Pearl CleageWhen Regina Burns married Blue Hamilton, she knew he was no ordinary man. A charismatic R&B singer who gave up his career to assume responsibility for the safety of Atlanta's West End community, Blue had created an African American urban oasis where crime and violence were virtually nonexistent. In the beginning, Regina enjoyed a circle of engaging friends and her own work as a freelance communications consultant. Most of all, she relished the company of her husband, who never ceased to be a source of passion and delight. Then everything changed. More and more frightened women were showing up in West End, seeking Blue's protection from lovers who had suddenly become violent. When the worst offenders begin to disappear without a trace, the signs-all of them grim-seem to point toward Blue and his longtime associate, Joseph "General" Richardson. Now that Regina is pregnant, her fear for Blue's safety has become an obsession that threatens the very heart of their relationship. At the same time, Regina's friend Aretha Hargrove is desperately trying to redefine her own marriage. Aretha's husband, Kwame, is lobbying for them to leave West End and move to midtown. Aretha resists at first, but finally agrees in an effort to rekindle the flame that first brought them together. Regina and Aretha have no way of knowing that what they regard as their private struggles will soon become very public. When Baby Brother, a charming con man, insinuates himself into the community, it becomes clear that there is more to his handsome façade than meets the eye. He carries the seeds of change that will affect both women in profound and startling ways. Returning to the vividly rendered Atlanta district of her last two novels, New York Times bestselling author Pearl Cleage brilliantly weaves the threads of her characters' intersecting lives into a story of family, friendship and, of course, love. Baby Brother's Blues is full of wit and warmth, illumination the core of every woman's hopes and dreams. From the Hardcover edition.
Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way
by Nicole PolizziThe greatest thing Nicole Polizzi, aka "Snooki,” ever did was by accident. But her son, Lorenzo, was never a mistake. When she and her boyfriend, Jionni, found out she was knocked up, they weren’t married or engaged. She was only twenty-four and living with her parents-and she had zero baby experience. With a reckless, party girl TV persona to deal with, she had a lot to learn and discover in becoming a mother. In this funny and frank book, Nicole shares her experiences, everything from the first sonogram to the nipple-cracking shock of breastfeeding. In each chapter, she tells the unvarnished truth about pregnancy symptoms ("The High Price of Gas”), the ridiculousness of her baby registry ("Butt Paste and Boogie Wipes”) and the lowdown on postpartum life ("Shit Happens”). There’s a ton of useful information, including a list of must-have baby products, MILF style tips, how to keep "I’m a whale” preggers bad body image in check, and how she got into the best shape of her life within six months of giving birth. Although Nicole had to give up partying, she’s embracing motherhood the only way she knows how: with a fun-loving attitude-and lots of leopard print!

Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife
by Peggy VincentAn inspiring collection of birth stories by a charming midwife.Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby--nearly three thousand times during her remarkable career--California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room. More than a collection of birth stories, however, Baby Catcher is a provocative account of the difficulties that midwives face in the United States. With vivid portraits of courage, perseverance, and love, this is an impassioned call to rethink technological hospital births in favor of more individualized and profound experiences in which mothers and fathers take center stage in the timeless drama of birth.
