We’re past the baby blob stage and she finally seems to be taking an interest in the books I’m reading to her: crushing the crinkly pages of a fabric book, giggling when I lift a flap to reveal a hiding monkey. Sure, she is as fascinated by her toes as she is by books, but it’s a start, right?This daily exercise reminded me of the thrill of tactile books and has left me longing to sink back into the sensorial luxury that is reading.
