Milk Teeth (Tall Poppy Press, 2025) is Amy Woodward’s first monograph, exploring the tangle of love and overwhelm that comes with raising small children. When her second child was born, she found herself caught between deep joy and unexpected contradictions—the feeling that something had slipped away, even as something new began to take shape. 

Woodward’s images lean into the tactile world of childhood—bug bites, tears, half-eaten fruit—they dwell in the tension and tenderness that exists within the raising of children. The sticky, the tender, the mess that lingers. Milk Teeth began with her eldest son, the expansion and confusion she felt after her second child was born; the sometimes unceremonious transition from mother of one to mother of more. As time went on, the work became something broader—an instinctive response to the everyday rhythms of parenting, the chaotic beauty, the sensory weight of it all. 

As she learned more about her own and her eldest son’s neurodivergence, these moments took on new meaning, revealing patterns in the way they both experience the tactile details of life.
