Book excerpt: Mama Midwife is the story of young Miso the mouse, whose mother is a midwife. When Mama rushes out of the house in the middle of the night during a slumber party, Miso's friends are intrigued! Is Miso's mama a superhero? A secret agent? Miso giggles at the theories and gathers her friends close to share the real-life adventures of a midwife. When Miso's dream of attending a birth in the forest comes true, she learns more about birth then she ever could have imagined. This beautifully illustrated, hardcover book is perfect for children expecting a new sibling. Whether a baby is born at home or in the hospital, midwives play an invaluable, powerful and often sacred role in many births. Mama Midwife is a hip and tender story that introduces children to midwifery, while celebrating and affirming our ability to birth.
