Baby Giggles:
The Book

What does a new mother need besides a maid, a nanny, and a hot bath? A laugh!

Baby Giggles; Laughing, Learning, & Loving in Baby’s First Year is a book of short true stories about the joy and laughter of the first year. There are almost four million babies born in the United States each year. More than one baby is born every second, that is a lot of parents who need Baby Giggles.

Baby Giggles’ stories will be 600 to 1200 words in length. The book will touch on the first twelve months of life, with stories at every stage of development in that first year. Parents already know that poop happens. These stories will help parents laugh through, and will give insights into the growth of their child.

Listen to what the experts say, “Baby Giggles is very entertaining reading. Mary has captured the humorous side of having children. A must read for any parent that is saturated by their newborn. Wonderful insight into every stage of child rearing- from birth on,” said Dr. Aaron J Affleck, MD and father of three preschool boys.
