I am so glad I read this book. Hospitals should be passing it out to all new parents!

This book looks at range of thoughts experienced by new mums that really help to normalise what a difficult time it can be. I saw some reviews which said that this book was too simplistic or didn't offer anything new. But I disagree. One, it's nice that it is simplified in comic form because I'm way too tired to work my way through a complex psychological text. Two, it did offer something new for me. I think most mum's worry they have bad thoughts that there is something wrong with them and this book is here to tell you that it's ok.

Such a cute idea for a parenting book! I love that this book is a combination choose-your-own-adventure, self-help, pep talk, and activity book for parents. I have a new baby at home and the baby chapters were spot on!

This would be a great book to keep on your shelf and pull off periodically throughout your kid's life, and it would make a fun baby shower gift.

This book uses a fun (and nostalgic!) format to discuss some serious and important topics. This book is designed to address moms of kids from multiple age groups, which means that it has a wider audience, but less of the book may seem immediately applicable to each person. However, the practical, research-based coping strategies that can be used in a variety of scenarios make this book useful to everyone. Some of the examples and phrasing may be triggering to some readers. However, the point of this book is to address difficult aspects of parenting in a compassionate, non-judgmental, encouraging way - and it succeeds in doing so. I recommend this book as a resource for parents looking for multiple mindfulness strategies in one resource.

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius Books for the free eARC. I post this review with my honest opinions. It is cross-posted on Goodreads andnwill be posted on Amazon upon the book’s publication.
