   "THE BABY is a composite baby of the first two years, speaking from inside, so a person can understand what a baby experiences: what the world looks and sounds like at the newborn's distance, why hunger is the whole world, why a stranger's face becomes frightening at eight months, where the toddler's rage lives. A way to understand and to explain — to a sibling, to a grandparent, to a class, to yourself before the baby comes — and never a way to know any real child.",
   "It carries one book, FROM INSIDE, in four chapters by age, and a small machine that works the age and the corrected age out from the dates. Every baby keeps their own time; the pediatrician outranks every line."
