Description: A compilation of stories featuring the experiences of 21 mothers and two dads who took on the role of primary caretaker while raising their families abroad. These stories take place in 24 different countries and span several continents to highlight the infinite ways in which babies are welcomed into the world. Each story is as unique as the child being born. Their experiences range from the spa-like treatments for postpartum women in Japan to unsatiable pregnancy cravings in the Seychelles to non-functioning toilets in West Africa.
