Advance Praise

Becky Cannon has written a mind-boggling book. The extent of its coverage is exhaustive, and this well-researched tome puts everything into the context of principles for living. A one-stop book for parents. --Peggy O'Mara, mother of four, author of Having a Baby Naturally and Natural Family Living; former editor of Mothering Magazine; board member of Holistic Moms

The book's title--Grow Healthy. Grow Happy.--captures the spirit of this welcome guide to child rearing. Becky Cannon brings a multicultural, holistic, and environmentally savvy perspective to that most important of human experiences: nurturing and raising babies in family and community.

Her writing and her guidance are gifts to babies, parents, and families everywhere. --Lawrence H. Kushi, ScD, Director of Scientific Policy at Kaiser Permanente; adjunct professor, UC Davis School of Medicine
