Be the THIRD Listia-er to get our signed, PERSONALIZED for YOU 8 x 10" hardcover copy of "How to Grow a Hippo!" Inspired by a 2012 radio segment I heard on NPR, it was written & illustrated in St. Louis, MO. The segment was about a study authored by children's psychiatrist, Dr. Luby (Washington University STL, MO), on the relationship between brain development in children and a mother's nuturing.
2nd in our Jack's Back! Book series, a boy named Jack (my son) thinks he has a hippopotamus in his brain and every time he gets a hug, his hippopotamus grows! He soon learns that it isn't a hippoPOTAMUS, but his hippoCAMPUS.
This makes a great gift for: baby shower, new baby, child or educator preschool - 2nd grade, school, library, or even your favorite doctor's or dentist's office waiting room! I'M HAPPY TO PERSONALIZE IT TO YOUR FAVE LIL ONE, TEACHER, SCHOOL, LIBRARY, NEW PARENT, DOCTOR'S OFFICE, ... OR YOU. :-)
{Our family's connection with Washington University is interesting and personal... happy to share with our winner. I dedicated this book to my late father, Wash U alma mater. The story continues.}
