Trees do make the best mobiles

I read this book a few years ago and it has earned a permanent place by my bedside. Trees Make the Best Mobiles: simple ways to raise your child in a complex world is written by two young mothers, one a journalist and critic, the other a poet - and they are students of RIE, the revolutionary infant and toddler care program steadily gaining popularity. It is a beautifully written and sensitive book of short essays that reinforces for new parents the inherent wisdom of nature and babies.
