40 weeks of pregnancy is a long time filled with lots of questions, endless to do lists and inevitable confusion. A great pregnancy read is informative (but not drowning in details); upbeat (this is not a time for scare tactics); and easy to skim and reference back to (attention spam and memory are not at peak performance). We’ll send you all our favorites in one pretty package. 4 titles for $100. Larger packages available, email us for details.
Being a pregnant woman and/or a new mom is a special thing. It’s a unique time filled with ups, downs and a 1,001 things in the middle. Women of all ages have tackled these life phases to create a unique genre of alternately relatable, confessional, sympathetic and hilarious mommy lit. We’ve pulled together our favorites pregnancy & parenting books to make an ideal gift for a new mom. 5 titles for $125. Larger packages are available, email us for details..
Dads are the publishing world’s latest discoveries. This parenting genre subset has its own special tone, direction and approach. Questions tend to be direct (will I ever have sex again), instructions are basic (how to change a diaper), prose is sympathetic (you too will survive your wife’s mood swings). We’ve compiled our favorite titles into one dad-friendly package. A great gift for expectant or new dads. 3 titles for $75.
Let’s be honest – the early parenting months are not times of great academic endeavors. A read is engaging (anecdotes are good, but too many is overkill), relatable (yes, this could potentially happen to me), upbeat (it’s all about positive reinforcement now) and easy to reference (indexes are key). Each of our favorites offers something different – many can be skimmed or read in sections. 5 titles for $150. Larger packages available, email us for details.
Year one is the best time to introduce your baby to the wonderful world of books.

A perfect way to start your baby’s library. 12 titles for $200. Larger packages available, email us for details.
