Beyond the Rainbow Bridge: Nurturing Our Children from Birth to Seven
By: Barbara J. Patterson, Pamela Bradley
This is one of the first books I read when my son was born. How to create healthy rhythms, creative discipline, and learning through play. Today’s children are over stimulated; this book focuses on protecting the senses of the young child. From age one to seven a child absorbs everything in their environment, understanding their developmental needs is critical to establishing healthy habits. I think this is a very good parenting book.

By: Aviva Jill Romm
I love this book. Aviva is a midwife, herbalist and mother of four. This is a body of knowledge that she has definitely lived! Full of great herbal remedies and resources. Different ailments are categorized in an easy to use format. I had been using herbs for 20 years before I had my son, but that didn’t mean that I knew how to use them with a small child. I refer to this book often!
