O La'u Tusi Lanu Uliuli Ma Pa'epa'e Muamua (My First Black and White Book)

My First Black and White Book - With Affirmations in Gagana Samoa and English. Illustrations by Kerilyn Clarke

Black and white books are a wonderful way to support a newborn’s early development. With their simple, high-contrast images, they gently engage a baby’s vision, helping to stimulate brain growth and foster focus. Just as these books lay a foundation for learning, positive affirmations can be equally powerful for both babies and new mothers. For new moms, affirmations offer gentle reminders of strength, love, and patience, providing comfort in the fog of postpartum. Speaking affirmations in the quiet moments together can help strengthen the bond that you share.

We chose these affirmations carefully, and crafted them in both Gagana Samoa and English to help nurture a deep sense of identity and connection for both mother and child.
