Mama's Milk

(4) PS Illustrated by Ashley Wolff. Eighteen mammals (including humans) are shown nursing their young. The rhymed couplets range from comforting ("Fill your tummy while mama snores. / Dine in peace in the dusky outdoors") to awkward ("Mama's going to nurse you high up in a tree. / Mama's going to nurse you down low by her knees"). Wolff's gouache portraits depict contented-looking mothers and suckling babies.
