HERE I AM, THE BABY BOOK
The book "Here I am" results from Kathi's journey as a neonatal developmental specialist who has worked with families during birth experiences and a baby's NICU admission for decades.
Written by Kathi Frankel, beautifully illustrated by Stephanie Dalton and edited by Montie Stone.
This is an inspiring poem book for any new parent.
Proceeds of this book go to Kathi's mission to support refugees in Georgia, USA.
Why read this book to your baby?
Reading to babies is a wonderful way to encourage development. Newborn and even premature babies have a language all their own. It is expressed in their behaviors and their patterns of wakefulness and sleep. It is expressed through vocalizations and cries.
Learning about your baby is one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have. But it is not so easy at first. Babies are adjusting to life outside of the womb, and this may exhibit in many ways.
Many parents are looking for guidance in communicating with their little one. This small book is a jumpstart to watching closely and listening to the voice of your newborn.

Here I am is a a soulful baby board book with messages for all people.
I wrote this book to empower families to look for the unique behaviors of their baby. Emotional connection is an important immediate response even if your baby has initial challenges. This book guides you through the beautiful journey on infancy.
Listen. Watch. Learn.
This book is not an instruction or how to guide. It is simply a suggestion of the shared thoughts of parents and babies. Families have many stories and no two are the same. Following your baby's lead in communication will get your family started on the beautiful world of the development in understanding your child's thoughts and language patterns.
