A very nice anthology of poems about being a parent. This would make a good gift for a poetically inclined mom or dad to be, or even a new parent, since the poems are all bite-sized enough to sneak while the baby sleeps or plays for a little intellectual and emotional lift.

A wonderful collection of classic and contemporary poems about expecting a child, birth, parenting, and children, and a perfect gift for parents-to-be.
This collection of poems is a wonderful gift for new parents but I can't imagine there is a parent at any stage that won't appreciate these carefully chosen words.
Nice poetry for mothers. As always with a collection there are some that speak to me more than others but the author did a good job of using a variety of sources and honoring the diverse experiences of parents.
