Robo-Babies By Laura Gallagher The next time you look up the night sky, if you stare really hard; you might be lucky enough to see the sparkling metal planet with all its robots and all their robo-babies. This is a story about the many ways in which babies arrive into their families, including IVF, donor conception, surrogacy and adoption. Robo-babies is a magical story that explains in simple terms the different ways in which babies arrive into the world. This is a warm and gentle story for preschool children introducing the different ways in which families are formed, it can sometimes be a complicated path but this book aims to normalise the many different way babies can meet their families. The robot families in this book meet their babies, of all shapes and sizes, in different ways, with the whole range of emotions that are entwined with a new baby. Written by Laura Gallagher, an IVF mum, following the birth of her miracle baby from one viable embryo. Illustrated by Nicci Martin. Paperback Number of pages: 32 Dimensions: 245 x 245 mm Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories. Owlet Press have always published books that are 'incidentally inclusive' from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life - diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don't always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories - a belief that we share at Babipur.
