Following "The Day Grandma Became a Grandma," Eiko Nagano's new parent-child picture book series introduces "The Day Mama Became a Mama." This time, she personally visited numerous birth scenes and consulted with many obstetric and gynecological experts, meticulously documenting her findings with hand-drawn illustrations and text.

Why specifically record this process?
Because she discovered that every child loves to hear the story of their own birth.

Mothers, think about it, was this how it was back then?
Pacing back and forth, restless in the hospital before delivery;
Occasionally wandering to the nursery to admire other families' already born adorable babies;
Touching your belly, telling the baby to come out quickly, Mom wants to unload;
Finally starting labor pains, but the nurse kept saying "wait a bit longer, not yet, not yet";
Your husband beside you, sweating profusely, more nervous than you;
You in the delivery room, pushing with all your might to get the baby out...

This is a picture book that makes you look forward to your baby's birth with joy,
Dedicated to all parents, parents-to-be, and all little ones curious about their own birth
