One of my favorite stories of wisdom from the animal kingdom is of gorillas; so closely related to humans, I learned that gorilla babies spend the first five months connected to mom and nurses for up to three years. Thinking back to having a newborn, this very much mirrors my experience and would be a comfort to any new mom. Another inspiring story is of the capybara; in the capybara community any female can mother a capybara pup and all of the females help in raising the litter in a true sense of community. Lastly, one of my favorite quotes in the book comes with a picture of one of my favorite animals, the giraffe. Giraffe moms carry their baby in gestation for up to 15 months. Joyce Carol Oates sums up family life for us: " What is family, after all, except memories? -haphazard and precious as the contents of a catchall drawer in the kitchen."
A perfect Mother's Day Gift for a new mom, your mom or yourself!
