Meet Jabber, a Steller’s jay born in the spring in a nest of pine
twigs and mud. When summer comes, she grows feathers and learns to
fly, just in time for the cold season ahead. With beautiful
illustrations by Diane Iverson, Jabber the Steller’s Jay takes
the reader through the first year of Jabber’s life as she learns
to survive along with the other animals who live in the ponderosa
pine forest of the US Southwest with her. Includes a pictorial
glossary of many of the forest animals that Jabber meets, including
a red-tailed hawk, a tassel-eared squirrel, a porcupine, and a
mountain lion.
The transition from nursing to weaning is a rite of passage. It can
either be a time full of stress, regret and confusion, or a joyous
celebration of growth. This book is for mothers and nursing
children, to help them both communicate their deep love and respect
for one another. The author believes that it is never too early for
mums and dads to talk to their baby with tenderness and dignity,
and to explain that nursing together is a cherished and special
time. Yet, when mother no longer chooses this mutual task, or for
health or other reasons cannot continue, then it is better for
parent and child to begin the weaning. There is no other book like
this, although many adult books are devoted to the process of
weaning. Ready to Wean is a childrens picture book, designed to
empower mothers in the weaning process. The friendly text reassures
and prepares the child, in a confident way, for this new stage of
growth, and bolsters mother's confidence that she will continue to
grow with her child, beyond this particular form. Already, national
and state WIC (Women, Infants and Children) agencies are asking
about the appearance of this book, calling it a crucial addition to
the literature. Without making any general statement about how long
nursing should continue, the book cleverly and gently allows each
mum to insert her own deadline date, and encourages her to start
planning for this date with her child. The author knows that
parents and children will be sharing this bonding experience
differently, and so she suggests many lovely, nurturing
alternatives that babies and young children can relate to as the
date approaches.
