A dynamic new story about how babies make their way in the
world--and how grown-ups have tried to make sense of these tiny
inscrutable beings.
As a new parent, Nicholas Day had some basic but confounding
questions: "Why does my son find the straitjacket of his swaddling
blanket comforting and not terrifying? How can he never meet a
developmental norm and still be OK? And when will he stop sucking
my finger? "So he went digging for answers. They were not what he
expected.
Drawing on a wealth of perspectives--scientific, historical,
cross-cultural, personal--"Baby Meets World" is organized around
the mundane activities that dominate the life of an infant:
sucking, smiling, touching, toddling. From these everyday
activities, Day weaves together an account that is anything but
ordinary: a fresh, surprising story, both weird and wondrous, about
our first experience of the world.
Part hidden history of parenthood, part secret lives of babies,
"Baby Meets World" steps back from the moment-to-moment chaos of
babydom. It allows readers to see infancy anew in all its
strangeness and splendor.
