A Ride on Mother's Back: A Day of Baby Carrying around the World by Emery Bernhard, Durga Bernhard (Illustrator)

Happy Mother's Day!
Explores the ways in which people from a variety of cultures carry their young ones, and describes what children see and learn as they are carried. As her mother makes tortillas, a Guatemalan infant is rocked in a shawl tied around her mother's body. Riding in a sling balanced on his grandfather's hip, a young boy watches his father gather honey in the rain forest of central Africa. A section of notes, with background information and interesting tidbits about each culture, is offered in an appendix.  Here are some other titles - http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/mothers-day/kids-books/a-ride-on-mothers-back.html
