Mom

Celia Ledoux believes that baby books should not prescribe laws or follow well-trodden paths. So she wrote one herself. As a new mother, there is plenty of inspiration: the clichés about motherhood, the much-discussed dilemmas surrounding childbirth, childcare, the good advice from grandma. Ledoux discusses them in an open and unbiased manner. Mama is not a manual but helps every expectant and new parent. It is a book full of sensitive recognizability and sure-fire humor. Because motherhood deserves an update, parents are allowed to find their own way and babies are more than cute piles of clichés.
