Why is Baby Joe Crying, Papa?

by Anna Mills

Crying is a communication – 

In this storybook Anna Mills (Cathy Milwidsky) has set out to explore the importance of crying. 

Having worked with many children (under the age of 5), their parents and educators, Cathy invites readers to join Sadie and her Papa take care of her baby brother Joe. It is through their time caring for Baby Joe, that they come to understand why and what Baby Joe is communicating – and because of this, they come to share the importance of crying, not only as a baby, or a young child, but as a human. And, importantly, that crying is best when not  alone. 

I hope children and adults enjoy reading the book together, and hopefully will be a way to open up conversations and of feeling connected.
