Promotional "Headline"

?The well-being concepts Mary Benson McMullen presents in each chapter, and the big ideas she draws from them, provide a focus for how adults can decide to ?be? with babies, as well as with their families. Mary has chosen to present her ideas through story. These stories have an immediacy and intimacy that sometimes took my breath away.? ?From the Foreword by Nancy File, professor emerita, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
