About
With an introduction by Tracey Ullman, an eclectic showcase of the most influential writing about children from the past three hundred years.
"It was the most liberating thing that ever happened to me, having children. The children's demands on me were things that nobody else ever asked me to do." -Toni Morrison
Children are a wonder, a blessing, a miracle, and everyone has an opinion on how we should raise them. From novelists to pediatricians; from modern parenting "experts" to child psychologists; from debunked academics to 1950s "agony aunts," “Tiny Feet” is the first anthology of its kind, showcasing a range of the most influential writing about children over the past three hundred years. Published chronologically, the extracts featured in this delightful compendium show the extent to which some of our attitudes have changed while others remain absolute and remind us of the joy that children have always brought to our lives.
