All Tommy Dailey wants is an unforgettable summer with his bug friends. Too bad spring takes its time coming to Peach County, Ga., where the eight-year-old lives. When the cold weather clears, the peach orchards come alive with the insects. But somethings wrong. The bugs arent getting along and Tommy is being asked -- no -- demanded to do something about it. On top of all that, a ladybug and a firefly start up a relationship that gets the insect rumor mill going. All the while, Tommys folks are having their share of troubles with the county gossip and her husband, a rival peach farmer. Things are heating up faster than a Middle Georgia thermostat in July. Can the growing potion his daddy uses to spray the peach trees be responsible for all of this unseasonable behavior? Or is something else at work? Only a crazy old spider seems to know the answers. So does Tommy. But he gets "distracted when the Peach Festival takes over the county. Follow Tommy on his journey to understanding life, love, family and friendship.

Let’s face it: babies don’t do much. So when we want to know how a baby is feeling, we look at how they are eating, sleeping, and pooping.

In this accessible, easy-to-use manual, Dr. Vartabedian tackles everything from standard questions about burping positions and bowel movements to hot button issues like the role of the microbiome in the development of allergies and the debate over breast milk versus formula. Throughout, he soothes parents’ concerns and answers their most urgent question: "Is this normal?"
