Why is Mama getting so Fat In this children's book, soon to be a classic, author and social scientist Dr. Alex Ruuska has created a playful, and by turns, whimsical story about a spunky young girl who goes on a whirlwind tour around the world. She is accompanied by her ever-expanding earth mama, who can't seem to get enough fish tacos, chocolate, or sushi. Mama Earth Gives Birth boldly explores climate change, large scale earth changes, geography, and cuisine through the eyes of an insatiable sentient earth mama and her curious pukish daughter. Inspired by ancestral stories of the Indigenous Paiute and Shoshone of California, the Great Basin, and Colorado Plateau, this book offers every reader the chance to get to know the earth as a sentient being.

Mama Earth Gives Birth is part of a series of children's stories that explores important earth changes and potential meanings for children in this time. Other books to be included in this series include: Fire in the Sky, and Whisper.

Mama Earth Gives Birth is produced by R. Haus Institute, LLC, an educational and healing institute providing the highest quality books, ethnographies, blogs, podcasts, videos, online classes, workshops, and life coaching by weaving together ancient and contemporary knowledge to promote the integration of science and spirituality, purposeful living, and planetary stewardship.

The author also has written a book for adults about ancient Indigenous earth births, entitled, When the Earth Was New: Memory, Materiality, and Numic Ritual, available through the University of Utah Press, to be released in Spring 2025.
