‘By turns bloody, sweet, bleak and joyful… It is also very, very funny’ NEW STATESMANThis is a graphic memoir (like a graphic novel, but true – and also a bit graphic).It’s about the delirium, chaos and strangeness of becoming a parent for the first time.It’s for every one who has ever wondered if it’s ok to cry when the baby cries – and also laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked and drool when the baby drools.This is definitely not a parenting manual, but it might be the only book about parenting you’ll ever need.‘You will cry, yes, but mainly snort with laughter’ SUNDAY TIMES'The most accurate account of becoming a parent I have ever read' PHILIPPA PERRY'Bracingly truthful... very funny' OBSERVER'It made me laugh, weep, cheer and howl... essential reading for parents and their peers.'
