We are excited to announce the first book in a series of recipe poems that offer simplicity and guidance to questions that first-time parents and caregivers often ask when feeding infants at around 6-months-old. This A-Z guide introduces various food options as well as possible foods to avoid during this developmental stage. Recipes for Growing Me was inspired by becoming a new parent and wondering, "Why not make it easy by having the answer right in front of me?" What emerged is a growing collection of recipe poems, brought to life with bright and happy characters that make feeding time-fun! Promoting the inner voice starts in the womb and can be encouraged throughout every stage of life. Enjoy reading baby's first cookbook, while teaching your baby about food! Shared reading leads to better literacy as babies start to recognize objects as early as 6-weeks to 3-months-old. Reading with our babies builds nurturing relationships essential for cognitive, language, and social-emotional development.So, read and feed, have fun and hum, and share these recipe poems with all your little ones!
