BEING WITH YOU IS EVERYTHING: Discovering Your Baby's Voice, written by Deborah Buehler, PhD, with drawings by Annie Zeybekoglu, is a beautiful, encouraging little book for parents and caregivers of premature and/or medically vulnerable infants. Inspired by the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program, lyrical text in the "voice" of a new baby affirms the crucial, nurturing role families play during an infant's hospitalization and beyond. Accompanying illustrations deepen each reading with sensitive, inclusive depictions of a range of tender moments many families will recognize as they explore the deep connections between loving relationships and their infant's development. As a final, thoughtful touch, journal pages invite families to document and reflect on their unique and evolving experiences. Part keepsake, part affirmation, part read-aloud, this little book with a big message is an ideal resource for families during and after their NICU journeys. Also available in French, Hungarian, and Spanish language editions.
