"Mother, a Story at the right time, Is a Looking-glass for the Mind." - Froebel - Endeavored to write, for mothers and dear little children, a few simple stories, embodying some of the truths of Froebel's Mother Play. The Mother Play is such a vast treasure house of Truth, that each one who seeks among its stores may bring to light some gem; and though, perhaps, I have missed its diamonds and rubies, I trust my string of pearls may find acceptance with some mother who is trying to live with her children. I have written my own mottoes, with a few exceptions, that I might emphasize the particular lesson which I endeavor to teach in the story; for every motto in the Mother Play comprehends so much that it is impossible to use the whole for a single subject. From "The Bridge" for instance, which is replete with lessons, I have taken only one, -for the story of the "Little Traveler."

With a heartwarming story and tender illustrations, Jeanette Bradley's debut picture book Love, Mama is perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and any day when a child needs a reminder of the strength of a mother's love. When Mama leaves her young penguin Kipling, he knows she'll return home soon—yet he still can't help but miss her. After all, Pillow Mama won't read, Picture Mama won't laugh, and Snow Mama is too cold to cuddle. But then Kipling receives a special delivery from Mama, including a note that reads: My love for you stretches across the wide ocean, through day and night, from earth to sky and back again. And Kipling knows that no matter where Mama is, he is loved. Soon, Mama comes home, and Kipling ends the day where he belongs—right in her arms.

Health and science journalist Chelsea Conaboy explodes the concept of “maternal instinct” and tells a new story about what it means to become a parent. Conaboy expected things to change with the birth of her child. What she didn’t expect was how different she would feel. But she would soon discover what was behind this: her changing brain. Though Conaboy was prepared for the endless dirty diapers, the sleepless nights, and the joy of holding her newborn, she did not anticipate this shift in self, as deep as it was disorienting. Mother Brain is a groundbreaking exploration of the parental brain that untangles insidious myths from complicated realities. New parents undergo major structural and functional brain changes, driven by hormones and the deluge of stimuli a baby provides. These neurobiological changes help all parents—birthing or otherwise—adapt in those intense first days and prepare for a long period of learning how to meet their child’s needs. Pregnancy produces such significant changes in brain anatomy that researchers can easily sort those who have had one from those who haven't. And all highly involved parents, no matter their path to parenthood, develop similar caregiving circuitry. Yet this emerging science, which provides key insights into the wide-ranging experience of parenthood, from its larger role in shaping human nature to the intensity of our individual emotions, is mostly absent from the public conversation about parenthood. The story that exists in the science today is far more meaningful than the idea that mothers spring into being by instinct. Weaving the latest neuroscience and social psychology together with new reporting, Conaboy reveals unexpected upsides, generations of scientific neglect, and a powerful new narrative of parenthood.

I HAVE ENDEAVORED TO WRITE, FOR MOTHERS AND DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, A FEW SIMPLE STORIES, EMBODYING SOME OF THE TRUTHS OF FROEBEL'S MOTHER PLAY. THE MOTHER PLAY IS SUCH A VAST TREASURE HOUSE OF TRUTH, THAT EACH ONE WHO SEEKS AMONG ITS STORES MAY BRING TO LIGHT SOME GEM; AND THOUGH, PERHAPS, I HAVE MISSED ITS DIAMONDS AND RUBIES, I TRUST MY STRING OF PEARLS MAY FIND ACCEPTANCE WITH SOME MOTHER WHO IS TRYING TO LIVE WITH HER CHILDREN. I HAVE WRITTEN MY OWN MOTTOES, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, THAT I MIGHT EMPHASIZE THE PARTICULAR LESSON WHICH I ENDEAVOR TO TEACH IN THE STORY; FOR EVERY MOTTO IN THE MOTHER PLAY COMPREHENDS SO MUCH THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE WHOLE FOR A SINGLE SUBJECT. FROM "THE BRIDGE" FOR INSTANCE, WHICH IS REPLETE WITH LESSONS, I HAVE TAKEN ONLY ONE,¿FOR THE STORY OF THE "LITTLE TRAVELER." MOST OF THESE STORIES HAVE BEEN TOLD AND RETOLD TO LITTLE CHILDREN, AND ARE SURROUNDED, IN MY EYES, BY A HALO OF LISTENING FACES. "MRS. TABBY GRAY" IS FOUNDED ON A TRUE STORY OF A FAVORITE CAT. "THE JOURNEY" IS A NEW VERSION OF THE OLD STAGE COACH GAME, MUCH LOVED BY OUR GRANDMOTHERS; AND I AM INDEBTED TO SOME OLD STORY, READ IN CHILDHOOD, FOR THE SUGGESTION OF "DUST UNDER THE RUG," WHICH WAS A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT IN A KINDERGARTEN TO TEST THE POSSIBILITY OF INTERESTING LITTLE CHILDREN IN A STORY AFTER THE ORDER OF GRIMM, WITH THE WICKED STEPMOTHER AND HER VIOLENT DAUGHTER ERADICATED. ELIZABETH PEABODY SAYS WE ARE ALL FREE TO LOOK OUT OF EACH OTHER'S WINDOWS; AND SO I PLACE MINE AT THE SERVICE OF ALL WHO CARE TO SEE WHAT ITS TINY PANES COMMAND. MAUD LINDSAY.
