Book Synopsis
Out of Milk reveals the experiences of mothers struggling to feed their children and the policy gaps that put babies at risk of going hungry in a high-income nation.

Trade Review

Clearly and accessibly written, Out of Milk has obvious and immediate value as a resource for policy makers and presents an urgent appeal for governments to reassume their responsibility in supporting the social reproduction of the next generation of Canadian.
