In response to an outpouring of letters from readers of Bringing Up Bébé, I’ve distilled what I hope are the smartest and most salient ideas from French parents and experts into a new book, Bébé Day by Day: 100 Keys to French Parenting (and the British edition of the same book, French Parents Don’t Give In: 100 Parenting Tips from Paris). In addition to parenting ideas and inspiration, the book contains recipes from Parisian day cares (they’re delicious for grown-ups too) and illustrations by the fabulous Margaux Motin. As the French say, there are no recipes for raising kids. But there are some guiding principles.

The French translation of Bringing Up Bébé/French Children Don’t Throw Food has been published by Flammarion, with a preface by Elisabeth Badinter. It’s called Bébé Made In France: quels sont les secrets de notre éducation?
