Local artist, author, activist and art teacher Susan Singer has written and illustrated a new book, Birth Affirmations, that offers the expectant mother 69 affirmations, or positive statements of belief, to help her develop an empowered, positive mindset for giving birth and being with her precious baby.

The affirmations are accompanied by 29 drawings that evoke a sense of the sacred and profound nature of new life. Singer says, “This book is a guide, a support, a tool, a reminder of just how amazing she is and how perfect the birthing process is, no matter what.”

The book is available on Amazon.com and BirthAffirmationsBook.com.
