In the colorful small town of Cherico, Mississippi, librarian Maura Beth McShay is preparing for an exciting new installment in her own life story—with some help from the Cherry Cola Book Club. Overseeing the opening of Cherico’s new library has been a labor of love for Maura Beth McShay, made extra challenging by the fact that she and Jeremy are expecting their first child. And there’s another plot twist on the horizon: Jeremy’s sister, Elise, has taken a sabbatical to have a baby and will be staying in Cherico during her pregnancy. It’s an unlikely move for the fiercely independent Elise, one that’s causing her some anxiety. Jeremy, who’s supposed to be birthing the Great American Novel, is instead testing his wife’s patience with his incessant “sympathy pains.” Resourceful as always, Maura Beth decides to use her new library as a venue for “Expecting Great Things” meetings—a sequel to her beloved book club. The weekly gatherings allow townsfolk to share hopes, fears, and practical advice about parenting and pregnancy, along with anecdotes both poignant and hilarious. And amongst the revelations and new friendships, Maura Beth, Jeremy, and the rest of the Cherry Cola Book Club prepare to meet their newest members . . . Praise for The Cherry Cola Book Club novels “An intrepid librarian, a book club feast, and a cozy, heart-warming Mississippi mystery—what's not to love?” —Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet “Lee’s buoyant David-versus-Goliath tale zestfully illuminates a real problem confronting libraries and cities of all sizes.” —Booklist

In an affluent suburb of Los Angeles, five rich young women meet for their regular Book Club. Far too wealthy to be concerned by plebeian needs such as having jobs, they share their lives and their hopes and dreams over discussing the latest book... and more than a little wine. Then one day, one of them suggests a new book - The Baby of the Baskervilles - a story of a couple who have a baby girl living with them who is neither a baby nor a girl. She is an adult baby, dressed and trained to be an infant. To most of them, it is nothing more than a weird and odd story of the type they love to discuss. In a world of wealth, extravagance and having whatever she wants, one thing has eluded three-times-married Chelsea - a baby. The idea of an adult baby like from the book unexpectedly appeals to her. No childbirth, no dealing with the teenage nightmare and a constant presence that desperately needs her, unlike any man she has ever met. And if that baby girl she craved happened to have a penis, so what? Babies were sexless anyhow! Chelsea had the money, the house, the time and the desire to have a baby, finally. And her Book Club friends would be the support and helpers she would need. But how do you find someone willing to give up their adult life in return for diapers, cribs, bottle-feeding, baby clothes and toys? A stunning debut novel from Madeline Wood.

From recipes for the Dump Punch and egg salad sandwiches included in Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie to instructionson how to make soap carvings like the ones left in the knot-hole of a tree in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, this book provides a bounty of ideas for making every kids' book club a success.

Viewing Art with Babies demonstrates how to facilitate quality art viewing experiences with babies from as young as 2 months old.

Danko-McGhee provides details about the type of art that babies like, how to display art in the learning environment, and how to interact with a baby when viewing art. Case studies of international museums, national museums, and community agencies that have had success with engaging babies in art viewing experiences have been included in the book as a way of demonstrating how theory and research can be successfully put into practice. Viewing Art with Babies details practical ways through which museum practitioners, early childhood and community educators, and parents can provide artviewing experiences in the museum, early childhood classroom or even their own home.

The sissy baby is a very common and wonderful part of the wide ABDL landscape. A boy/man that wants nappiesfor sure, but also panties and perhaps a bra. They want baby clothes like we all do, but mainly baby girl dresses - frilly bonnets, pink outfits, a pink dummy, dolls to play with, and a feminine crib and nursery. This collection of four wonderful books is all about that. About boys who want to be sissy baby girls, even if they don't know that at the beginning. These are not erotic tales of sissy sex or sizzling adventures into sissyhood. Rather, they are stories of how real-life sissy babies appear and develop and the people/family around them that embrace and enhance their lives. You will love these wonderful books and the characters you will meet as they discover and realise their true identity as a Sissy Baby Girl.
