The Wisdom of Babies

The Wisdom of Babies combines original insight with aww-inspiring photos. Written by an award-winning author, The Wisdom of Babies conveys the funny and meaningful perspective of infants. These insights keep us young at heart and flood our lives with the light of innocent joy. When expecting a child, everything changes. Websites are combed for the nicest baby girl names and the best baby boy names. You memorize every page on BabyCenter, and you stock up on onesies and baby clothes. Your home looks like a Babies"R"Us showroom or a buybuy BABY store! And then the newborn baby arrives. Everything washes away. Having a baby provides an entirely new perspective on why you are on this earth. Cradling that warm bundle for the first time is transcendent. In the days that follow, the endless rounds of diaper changes, bottle warmings, and laundry threaten to wipe away that memory. Amid the chaos, though, other treasures await: the way your child's eyes lock onto yours. That first smile. The gurgling coo of pleasure. These moments offer wisdom…some of it funny, some of it profound. And because babies universally inspire wonder, their perspective can keep us young at heart and help us grow in spirit. The Wisdom of Babies is as timeless as the cycle of life. Inspiring photos enhance these original sayings in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift. An irresistible collection for every parent, grandparent, caretaker, and anyone seeking a more playful life, The Wisdom of Babies celebrates a delightful outlook that can make us happier, healthier, more joyful, and more loving. The softcover edition uses a single-page layout for an affordable price point. The hardcover edition displays each saying across a beautiful two-page spread with the full-color photo on the righthand page, making it the perfect gift. Laine Cunningham, a three-time recipient of The Hackney Award, writes fiction that takes readers around the world. Her debut novel, The Family Made of Dust, is set in the Australian Outback, while Reparation is a novel of the American Great Plains. She is the editor of Sunspot Literary Journal.

After Laine Cunningham's debut novel manuscript won a national literary award, Jack Scovil became her agent. Mr. Scovil worked with Norman Mailer, Carl Sagan, Morris West and Arthur C. Clark. Their ten-year relationship ended when he passed. Laine then developed a new fiction voice that resulted in On a Rush of Silent Wings, a literary black comedy dealing with income inequality and the illusions we choose to believe. Currently she is developing an epic historical novel set in Europe during the scientific revolution before the Enlightenment. Her novels include The Family Made of Dust: A Novel of Loss and Rebirth in the Australian Outback, which won two national awards. Beloved, a sensual noir thriller, follows an FBI agent who must access the dark power of the goddess Kali to bring down two serial killers. In Reparation, a Lakota Sioux man must save a sister and his lover from a sinister peyote cult. Laine's goal for her fiction is to spur readers into dialog about our society and the parallels found in history. When individuals recognize how large issues build on multiple small elements, many of which were taken up by individuals just like them, they recognize that everyone can foment change. As a publishing consultant with twenty years of experience, she has written Writing While Female or Black or Gay: Diverse Voices in Publishing.
