Boy or Girl? is a stained-glass window. It is an original design inspired by a heat photo of a pregnant woman and conveys the joy and miracle of life. Use of color and texture harness nature's natural light.

The book's author comments on this artwork saying, "Shaw utilized the foil technique, which created fine, clean and lead lines and allowed for the creation of interesting detail."

Nursing shows the bonding of mother and child as a miraculous outpouring of unobstructed love channeled through the mortal coil. 

Dr. Spence expressed that "Between mother and child, there are bio-electromagnetic bonds, emotional and psychic bonds, and ultimately the spiritual bond that brought them together."

In Mommy's Footsteps pays tribute to the growing number of woman physicians by representing a girl dressed in a doctor's uniform.

"Expressive eyes are the hallmark of Iranian-born Mirmobiny's portraiture work, plus the Persian rug. Her (the girl) look and gesture show that she loves and worships her mother who is a doctor," explains Dr. Spence's.

Wrinkled is a painting is the story of an old woman and a toad. When the artist asked the old woman if she could take her picture, the woman replied, "Is there any beauty left in me?"

The author believes that the answer would be "Yes" and adds "this painting shows that beauty is not about looking young or about looking old, but it is about looking happy or perhaps about wisdom and dignity."

Tasting Life was drawn when the Lang saw a group of blind children from the ocean-side city of San Francisco who had never experienced snow before. Their senses of taste, touch, and smell gave them a new taste on life.

Dr. Spence notes "To taste life in all its grandness, no matter what our disabilities, is the essence of this painting. The elements in this collage almost feel theatrical with the artist's improvisational use of his characters and environment."
