Mama, Talk About When Max Was Born tells the story of Max’s birth, which takes place at home in water. Max’s older sister likes to hear all about when Mama first learned that she was pregnant, about seeing the doula and midwives, about preparing for Max’s arrival, and finally his birth in their living room. Mama, Talk About When Max Was Born is a sweet and normalizing look at home water birth for young children. This represents the simple and beautiful reality of many home, water, and birth center births.
