A beautiful compendium of timeless wisdom – the perfect gift for all mothers, with insights and tips from around the world.

Bringing together the timeless insights and practices of motherhood from a range of different cultures, A Gift for New Mothers shows how a body of inherited wisdom, from regions as far-flung as Native North America, Aboriginal Australia, the Far East and Europe, can inspire and instruct mothers today.
How do the Romanies of Eastern Europe foretell the sex of a child? What is the Hawaiian method of choosing a baby’s name? How did the Lakota of North America protect children from bad dreams? World customs and practical wisdom are brought together in this brimming treasure-chest of mother’s lore.
