How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers.\nBut Hollie learned.\nAnd she's still learning, slowly. Nobody Told Me is a collection of poems and stories; Hollie's thoughts on raising a child in modern Britain, of trying to become a parent in modern Britain, of sex, commercialism, feeding, gender and of finding secret places to scream once in a while.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitabay Jaipur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268343759071,"sku":"9780349726571_Kitabay Jaipur_14-G1","price":322.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0302\/6927\/6291\/files\/434ca7d4692810d91692e98c42cdcafe.jpg?v=1787730901","url":"https:\/\/kitabay.com\/products\/nobody-told-me-poetry-and-parenthood","provider":"Kitabay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
