As a mother of three, I found these poems relatable and sometimes humorous. However, the narration detracted from my enjoyment. This would be much better read in print or with a different narrator who could better convey the humor and emotion.

Loryn Brantz's poetry is so spot-on, any parents of young children can relate. Her poems are shared in my social media feed constantly, and I was fortunate enough to review the e-arc of her book, Poems of Parenting. When William Morrow, Harper Audio, and NetGalley released the e-audio ARC, I was so excited to listen. First, I was curious to hear Loryn Brantz's voice, and second, I wanted to hear how she empasized, paused, and narrated her own poetry.

She sounds like a regular mom, which I loved, and hearing the poems gave me a new way to experience them. The epilogue, which is incredibly emotional, was even more so hearing it recited out loud.

I highly recommend this audio book for all parents, and for public libraries to keep on their Libby or Hoopla accounts because it will be popular!
