Early praise for How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm (Algonquin Jan. 2012)
Starred review from Booklist: "Informative and deeply engaging. Eschewing the confrontational 'tiger mother' style, Hopgood learns how babies in different parts of the world eat, sleep, play and more... Throughout her carefully organized text, she shows enormous respect for everyone she speaks with and everyting she learns... A best bet for new parents."
