How can he never meet a developmental norm and still be OK? And when will he stop sucking my finger? \u003c\/i\u003eSo he went digging for answers. They were not what he expected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a wealth of perspectives--scientific, historical, cross-cultural, personal--\u003ci\u003eBaby Meets World\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart hidden history of parenthood, part secret lives of babies, \u003ci\u003eBaby Meets World\u003c\/i\u003e steps back from the moment-to-moment chaos of babydom. It allows readers to see infancy anew in all its strangeness and splendor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Day\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250044812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250044815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Nicholas Day","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991904026879,"sku":"9781250044815","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21e987e4-cc76-48e9-93b3-88a882c6def1.jpg?v=1683312909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/baby-meets-world-nicholas-day-9781250044815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
