Brain Candy for expectant parents
Pregnancy is an adventure.
Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of insert
fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to
wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice
versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask
her doctor, such as:
- Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?
- Can you predict your baby's temperament?
- Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely
to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
- Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
- How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years
later?
This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, fun, and
filled with information you won't find anywhere else.
We see the sights follows Mummy, Susan and John on a jolly
sightseeing trip of post covid London. As our family re-emerge from
two years of lockdown into the heart of their city, things have
subtly changed. St Paul's cathedral is now St Primark, The Tower of
London has brought back hate-speech beheading, and Westminster is
now waxwork museum. Throughout the trip, various drones hover
around monitoring the children's 'social credit' score. This book
is a humorous reflection on a society pretending to function
normally.
This book of humorous, philosophical, allegorical and nature-loving
poetry with its beautiful original illustrations came about through
a son's love for his mother. The poems in this book should paint
meaningful pictures in your mind. As you read them I hope you are
prompted to think deeply and explore their resonance for you, but
also to laugh out loud.
