A tender, observant record of a baby's first year. Milicent Washburn Shinn, one of the first to study infant development closely, watches a single child month by month and reports the small miracles of growth, discovery, and dawning mind. Scientific yet full of wonder, it reads like literature. A lovely, pioneering classic for any parent enchanted by how a helpless newborn becomes, so quickly, a little person.
