Praise for Tiny Humans, Big Lessons
“Tiny Humans, Big Lessons is a deeply kind, wise, and engrossing guide to life. As Sue Ludwig describes the parallels between the struggles of premature babies and our own daily struggles, she reminds us that all of us can feel small and fragile—and that all of us deserve the care and focus she gives to the babies under her care. Her book is an inspiring, pragmatic testament to the compassion human beings are capable of both giving and receiving.”
- MARTHA BECK PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of The Way of Integrity
The most valuable life lessons can come from the
least expected places. Sue Ludwig shares hard-earned
wisdom about the practical art of living with meaning
and purpose.”
