happiest of book birthdays to this latest of our beloved rica baptista’s adventures ✨✨ show some love to @jcostabates third kid, everyone!!
reposted @jcostabates
It’s pub day for ‘Rica Baptista: The Box of Possibilities.’ It’s the third book in the series, but you know what they say about the third kid.
First kid: When the pacifier falls, you sterilize it and give them a fresh one anyway.
Second kid: You rinse off the pacifier, maybe in hot water.
Third kid: Give it a quick wipe on your shirt and stick it back in the baby’s mouth.
Well, apologies in advance, but I’m going to show some attention and respect to this third book kid and do a few posts this week to celebrate it. #sorrynotsorry

@theconsciouskid Cover reveal!! ✨✨
Asha becomes a big sister and a big help to her parents when Mama struggles to find energy after the baby’s birth. This touching and meaningful story will reassure families who are experiencing the hardship of postpartum depression.
Asha loves baby Maya, and she’s so happy to be a big sister. But Mama seems sad. Asha hears her whisper to Papa, “I can’t do this.” And hears Papa on the phone to Dadi and Nani, asking them to come. The next day, the two grandmothers arrive, ready to tidy and cook and comfort. “Will Mama feel better?” Asha asks Nani. “I believe she will,” Nani answers. “Especially with our help.”
TOGETHER FOR MAMA by Pooja Makhijani (@laborofloaf ) and Nadia Alam (@nadiabmad ) sheds light on a common challenge, providing young children and their parents with the knowledge and reassurance they need.
