Renowned midwifery consultant, researcher, and lecturer, Dr Diana du Plessis finally agreed, after more than 20 years and much encouragement, to share her knowledge to a wider audience by means of this beautiful and informative book. This no-nonsense lady took the time to describe how the book came together and thanked those who participated.
The choosing of photographs for a book such as this was time-consuming but never tedious! Some were pictures the author already had, others were gathered through requests via her Facebook group – and there were many! These were whittled down to 18 for the cover picture, which were then voted upon by her Facebook group members, resulting in the beautiful picture on the cover. All 18 nominees were awarded a special prize for their participation.
A brief tour through the book highlighted not only the beautiful imagery, but also the wealth of information for new (and second, or third time!) parents. From conception to birth, this book is sure to become a bedside companion to many a parent.
Aneke Grobler took on the task of managing submissions, voting and general 'pull-it-together-person' - a mammoth task, no doubt!
It was wonderful to see this author celebrate her incredible achievement by acknowledging all the help and contribution from those around her.
With several more books in the works, this is a parenting author to follow.
