1: What's In Mommy's Tummy? Abby Johnson

Celebrate life in the womb in a special way with a new children's book. In What's in Mommy's Tummy? Abby Johnson helps parents prepare their children for their new baby brother or sister in a humorous and relatable way.

Abby Johnson worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years, working her way up through the ranks to become the clinic director in Bryan, Texas. She was Planned Parenthood's Employee of the Year in 2008, but she walked away from her job after witnessing the abortion of a 13-week-old fetus during an ultrasound-guided abortion. She left Planned Parenthood and instantly became a national news headline for her defection, which led to a pro-life speaking career. Her bestselling book, Unplanned, was made into a feature film that debuted in theaters nationwide in March 2019.
