“Su hijo puede lograr grandes cosas”.
 
Hace unos años, mujeres embarazadas en cuatro rincones del mundo escucharon esas palabras y esperaban que pudieran ser ciertas. Entre ellas, Esther, de la zona rural de Uganda; Jessica, de un vecindario de Chicago marcado por la violencia; Shyamkali, de una aldea de casta baja en India; y María Estela, del altiplano occidental de Guatemala.
 
Alcanzar la grandeza fue un pensamiento audaz, pero las mujeres tenían una nueva causa para tener esperanza: estaban participando en una iniciativa internacional sin precedentes enfocada en proporcionar una nutrición adecuada durante los primeros mil días de vida de los niños, comenzando desde el embarazo de estas madres. El movimiento 1000 Días, que es una respuesta a las recientes crisis alimentarias devastadoras y las nuevas investigaciones sobre los costos económicos y sociales del hambre y el retraso en el crecimiento infantil, tiene el poder para transformar las vidas de madres e hijos, y finalmente, del mundo.
 
En este libro inspirador, a veces desgarrador, Roger Thurow nos adentra en la vida de las familias al frente del movimiento en una íntima narrativa que ilumina la ciencia, la economía y la política de la desnutrición, registrando el emocionante progreso y los formidables desafíos de este esfuerzo global.

Genre:

  • Nonfiction
  • Family & Relationships
  • Life Stages
  • Infants & Toddlers
