(Paperback)
From the time she first learns she's pregnant until the time she holds her newborn baby, an expectant mother experiences an extraordinary range of emotions, from nervous excitement to awe-filled wonder. Celebrating Motherhood gathers together folklore, birth stories, naming customs, and spiritual guidance for first- or fifth-time mothers. With readings by Isabel Allende, Maya Angelou, Thich Nhat Hanh, Adrienne Rich, E. B. White, Ursula LeGuin, the Dalai Lama, and many others, this book is an exquisitely illustrated treasury of the adventure of motherhood through the centuries and across the world.
