Most gifts for new moms are really gifts for the baby: clothes, toys, diapers. This book is the perfect gift for that new mom in your life (or for yourself ) The poems are just the right length to be read in those moments between diaper changes and feedings when a new mom is feeling alone, panicked, or just in need of a laugh. Based on the real-life experiences of a fellow new mom, Welcome to Motherhood covers the first year, from mood swings and exhaustion, to date nights, nursing dilemmas, and toys that drive you crazy.

Each poem in this black and white edition is paired with a photo, and the first pages include a spread for the gift giver to write a message, and for the mom to write her own reflections on motherhood.

What moms are saying about Welcome to Motherhood:

"So rare to read something that's so honest and raw about motherhood" --Jessica Orchier
"Wonderful, touching, funny..."--Angel Rafter (A NU Toy Store, Tarrytown, NY)
