This is a wonderful book of ceremonies, celebration and creative expressions for women becoming mothers. If you have wondered what is more real, more honoring and more supportive of mothers-to-be than the traditional pink or blue baby shower, this book is full of suggestions for supporting pregnant,single, adopting, or lesbian/gay parents as they bring a new life into their families. Lots of how-tos and outlines for having the party that really honors the mother in all her wishes, fears, dreams and possibilities. Great resource list, too
