He used to love, even when he was two and three, he would jump off these picnic tables and I’d always be like, can can a kid break their shin? I don’t know if this is okay, but he loved it so much that I let him do it. So Nicole is the artist of the cover and I had sent her, you can see there’s the silhouette of my son.Īnd so I sent her a picture of him. Taylor Harris: The cover is one of my favorite things and I feel like I get to brag on it without sounding some kind of way because I didn’t have a lot to do with it. What a gorgeous cover is this? Tell me a little bit about the cover art and what you think that it says about the content. I wanted to chat with you about your book, This Boy We Made. Maya Smart: Well thank you so much for joining me today. Watch our conversation below (or scroll down for the transcript) to learn about Harris’s journey as an advocate for her son, and as a chronicler of the experience, as well. Then we keep choosing, sometimes getting it right, sometimes making mistakes, and learning and growing along the way.
We see what happens with the choices we’ve made.
Why is the baby crying this time? Is this normal? Should we call the doctor? Little by little, parents learn to make the best decisions we can by weighing the information and instincts we have at our disposal. Many parents will relate to that near-constant sense of grappling with the unknown that comes with raising a baby and toddler through those early years. In the process, she builds new parenting skills as she navigates her own emotional terrain, the education system, and the medical establishment. When her young son begins suffering from listlessness, processing delays, and other troubling symptoms, Harris seeks answers however she can.
In her debut book, This Boy We Made, A Memoir of Motherhood, Genetics and Facing the Unknown, Taylor Harris gives voice to the steep learning curve and related anxiety that come with the high-stakes work of parenting.
