You Are My World: How a Parent's Love Shapes a Baby's Mind, celebrates the impact a parent's love and attention has on a baby's development. It portrays the significant role that small, everyday moments have in shaping a baby's sense of self and capacity to learn. Science tells us that the brain develops through the dance that occurs between parents and children. In this book, babies do the talking and ask paretns to join them in the dance. You Are My World also explores the value of responding to your baby from your own heart and in your own rhythm. 

The text, while often poetic, is based on the latest scientific research on infant brain development. The words are written with profound respect for the power of a parent's love. They are meant to illuminate a baby's sheer delight in, desire for, and receptivity to that love. The unfolding and development of a baby is nothing short of a miracle. You Are My World celebrates the role of a parent's love in that miracle and captures the extraordinary impact of the "ordinary" acts of parenting.

The book is a wonderful tool for new parents, caregivers, and infant mental health professionals alike.
