Join Marie as she talks with award-winning children’s book author Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch about her newly revised The Best Gifts, a book long-celebrated for its support of breastfeeding families. Consider how breastfeeding fits into the parent-child relationship from the very start, and think about the many ways it is a gift to the infant, the family, and the community. Why is it important to see breastfeeding in picture books about families? What are the benefits of such books for families? Tune in for a celebration of breastfeeding in children’s media, and discussion about mother’s efforts to meet their babies’ most basic needs with the most generous gift.
