"Infant Massage: a Handbook for Loving Parents" (Bantam Books) has sold over 200,000 copies since its first publication. The third edition, which I am working on now, will be published within the next two years. Look for it here, with a new look, updated information and lovely new photos. Another book I’ve written makes a great gift: "The Tao of Motherhood" (New World Library), an inspirational book for parents of all ages. I have just finished my new book: "The Path of Parenting: Twelve Principles to Guide Your Journey," to be released in March, 1999 (New World Library). My essay, titled "Parenting in the New Millenium" appears in the newly released anthology: "The Fabric of the Future: Women Visionaries Illuminate the Path to Tomorrow" (Conari Press); it can give you a preview of "The Path of Parenting" content. I hope you enjoy these books and that they are helpful to you on your journey as a parent. Thank you!
