By the third trimester, your baby's ears are ready to hear! Bedtime Book for Bump features a gentle rhyme to read to bump, beautiful illustrations, pages for you to personalize, and expert insights into pregnancy.

With an introduction by Dr. Kimberley Bennett (@the_psychologists_child) about reading to children before they are born, parents-to-be will learn the importance of sound and rhythm for their child's development in utero.
The rhyming text that follows is a lyrical poem exploring the emotions of pregnancy and the hopes and dreams of life with a new child. Parents are encouraged to read the poem aloud to bump, creating a loving, bonding routine that enables the unborn baby to become familiar with their parents' voices--whether they are the birthing parent or not. The poem is accompanied by the stunning illustrations of Anneli Bray, featuring adorable animal parents and children.

You'll be able to personalize the book, too, with a letter written to baby ahead of their birth and a page to record their name, weight, and date of birth, making this book a treasured heirloom to pass on to your child. At the back of the book is a secure envelope where parents can keep photos and other treasured items.

Bedtime Book for Bump makes the ideal pregnancy gift for baby showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day ... or just because!

From Guatemala to Bhutan, vibrant color photographs embrace our global diversity and give glimpses into the daily life, traditions, and clothing of babies from around the world.

Babies love looking at other babies, making Global Babies a great first book for the toddler in your life.

Part of the proceeds from this book's sales will be donated to the Global Fund for Children to support innovative community-based organizations that serve the world's most vulnerable children and youth.

Tummy time--placing a baby on his or her stomach only while awake and supervised--can help your baby develop strong neck and shoulder muscles, and promote motor skills. --Mayo Clinic

And this book will keep babies' brains busy, too, while their muscles are hard at work. The high-contrast images on one side are mesmerizing because, although young babies' vision is blurry, they can see bold patterns with sharp light-dark contrast and saturated color.

Babies are also hard-wired to recognize faces, so there are baby photos on the other side to delight your baby, and an embedded mirror--because babies love looking at themselves! The book can be spread out in front of them, or read like a book so you can enjoy reading time together.

Visiting a neonatal intensive care unit can be an overwhelming experience, especially for a young child during sibling visitation. The sibling will see monitoring equipment, breathing machines, intravenous pumps and incubators. They will hear alarms ringing and sometimes babies crying. Preparing children for the NICU environment is crucial so they are not as fearful and can focus on bonding with their new sibling.

The foundation for your child's later development lies in the baby and toddler ages. But without professional help, this can be difficult in stressful everyday life. As parents, we know this all too well.

This book offers the solution:

You can help your child learn coordination, build a large vocabulary, and develop tremendous confidence through selected Montessori activities. Your child will benefit from this for the rest of their life!

As the phase between the ages of 0 and 3 is incredibly important, this book starts right at birth. This allows you to sustainably aid your child's development with creative Montessori activities.

Your child will learn autonomously and from their own experiences.

That way, your child's autonomy, and confidence will grow immensely. They will then benefit from this independent way of learning at school and later in the work environment.

The activities are structured according to Montessori and designed in a modern way. They aim to support your child in exploring the world full of joy and in a playful fashion while being protected from over stimulation, stress, and pressure. This prevents severe mood swings or feeling overwhelmed in the long term.

This book also includes frequently asked questions (FAQs) from other parents and an introductory theoretical part. As parents, you will learn how to best support your child on their journey.

• Your child will learn coordination, language, shapes, colors, and much more through play with great Montessori activities and become independent and confident at an early age.
• Specialization: The book is precisely adapted to babies and toddlers and can thus promote your child's development in the most targeted way. This maximizes the numerous benefits in terms of independence, confidence, and sensory development.
• The book trains all of your child's senses, which promotes independence, and your child learns to explore the world more and more independently. You will be noticeably relieved by the increased independence your child will display daily.
• In addition to the activities, the book contains a collection of important FAQs about Montessori, including: How can I prepare my surroundings before giving birth? Are Montessori toys expensive? How can I implement Montessori in my stressful everyday life?
• Do you want to develop Montessori activities yourself? This book offers valuable suggestions: Which exercises are suitable for what age? Which materials should I choose? How can I present toys in an appealing and clear way?
