Go to Sleep (I Miss You): Cartoons from the Fog of New Parenthood | 
pickSuch a cute, funny book! Perfect for new parents… or parents of any age who can remember the newborn days (however foggily… ah, sleep deprivation). It‘s a very short, quick book, mostly comics of one or a few images, and I giggled on nearly every page. And yes, this is exactly what my mom was like.
My kiddo wanted to go to the library to get a summer reading game board and I had a hold to pick up. Then he wanted to play on the library computers so I was left to wander… #libraryhaul

It‘s a Christmas miracle because I finished December‘s #bookspin pick! I love Knisley, she is a favorite comic/graphic novel author and I like her art style. Her books are mostly memoir and this one has cute cartoons about being a new mother. It‘s short, sweet and I‘m sure very relatable.
Omg! I‘d never thought of that! Now I can‘t forget it!
Moving on to a lighter book! I love #LucyKnisley! (Fluffinator #TrickyCat lounges in the background!)

pickLove love love anything Lucy Knisley does! She‘s my favorite graphic novelist, I just find her so relatable! This one is the shortest I‘ve read of hers. It‘s a one-sitting read about the wonders, and trials of the first year with a new baby. Here is my (2 years expired) youngest baby modeling the book 😆
The drawings took me back to life with a baby. And I miss it but glad that we are in the next stages of childhood 😊
pickNew parents will find a lot of humor and a lot to relate to in this book of comics drawn on the side in the midst of the artist's first years with a new baby. Delightful and a refresher on how hard those early years are.

Enjoy!
pickI ❤️ Lucy Knisley. Her #graphicmemoirs are so realistic. Every mom can commiserate as Go to Sleep (I Miss You) accurately portrays the sleepless foggy days, adventures in breastfeeding, being enamored with your baby, and all the other little experiences of motherhood. I recommended this to my daughter whose baby recently turned 1. Would be a nice gift for any new mom.

pickI adore Knisley‘s work and I‘m in the middle of the baby stage, so I‘m definitely the target audience for this one. She captures some of the more unique challenges of breastfeeding, a teething baby, your postpartum body, and other parenting paradoxes. That being said, the collection feels like exactly what it claims to be: drawings from a sleep-deprived fog. If you are just starting with her work, I‘d highly recommend Relish or Kid Gloves.

Had to get my hands on this one this week! I love it - I relate to so much of it 🤣
pick“When can baby help doing dishes?” The eternal question. This isn‘t as in-depth as Knisley‘s other work; she‘s been busy. It is, however, tremendously charming.
