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 babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as an audience member; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers. But Hollie learned. And 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollie McNish","offers":[{"title":"480 pages \/ 05\/03\/2020 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":56966474924407,"sku":"9780349726571","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780349726571_da9bf307-eeed-4739-a933-367452399fb0.jpg?v=1780928030","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780349726571","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
