How Mamas Love Their Babies
Mamas work in different ways to take care of their babies, but everything they do is out of love.
Illustrating the myriad ways that mothers provide for their children--piloting airplanes, washing floors, or dancing at a strip club--this book is the first to depict a sex-worker parent. It provides an expanded notion of working mothers and challenges the idea that only some jobs result in good parenting. We're reminded that, while every mama's work looks different, every mama works to make their baby's world better.

The Ezra Jack Keats vibe from Elise Peterson’s illustrations enticed me to check out How Mamas Love Their Babies but Juniper Fitzgerald’s inclusive and empowering message about moms of all professions made me fall in love: “Some uniforms even have special shoes. Some mamas dance all night long in special shoes. It’s hard work! Mamas who dance, just like mamas who clean and think and farm and fly, use their whole bodies to care for babies. Mamas who dance, just like other mamas, have bodies that love their babies.” If she a baby mama, she gone do that baby mama! We see you! To all that baby mamas, Juniper Fitzgerald and Elise Peterson’s How Mamas Love Their Babies is for YOU! The perfect baby shower or Mother’s Day gift!
