"It's a Baby Girl! explains the development and functioning of the female brain. If you are raising a girl, this is a book you really need to read"
--Stephen J. Bavolek, Ph.D., author Nurturing Parenting Programs; Executive Director, Family Nurturing Centers, International
"Reading It's a Baby Girl! is akin to reading a good guidebook before and during a trip: your experience is richer as you deepen your understanding of what you are seeing, doing, and experiencing. If you are preparing for a new baby girl or have a friend or relative with a daughter, this book will be a delight."
--Lynne H. Williams, MD, Co-Author, The Too Precious Child
"IT’S A BABY GIRL! is thoughtfully research-based, yet perceptively practical for any parent who has just been blessed by the gift of a girl. Parents will close the book truly understanding why girls and boys are different in so many ways, and how to nurture the nature of their daughter."
--Fay E. Brown, Ph.D. Director, Child and Adolescent Development, Yale University
"For years I have heard new parents lament that their babies don't come with a manual. Now they do! It’s a Baby Girl! is a must-have addition to the parenting library!"
--Pat Crum, Director and co-Founder of the Family Nurturing Center of Michigan
