family and friends would react  that Mr Whippy would be off the menu  how quickly ice can melt
on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about babies: how to
stand while holding one  how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience  how
drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that's before you even start on toddlers.But Hollie
learned.And she's still learning  slowly. Nobody Told Me is a collection of poems and stories 
Hollie's thoughts on raising a child in modern Britain  of trying to become a parent in modern
Britain  of sex  commercialism  feeding  gender and of finding secret places to scream once in
a while.
