"Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby……" — Eda LeShan
"Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all thingswonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down itstrees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete ... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring."
