Description

Welcome to the Club isnt a place to lovingly capture the first time baby sleeps through the night (thats what baby books are for), but instead shows what its like the first time baby rolls off the bed/sofa/changing table, leaving mom or dad in a state of pure terror (it happens). These 100 rarely-documented but all too-realistic milestones, such as 'First Time Baby Says a Word You Didnt Want Her to Say' or 'First Time You Forget to Lock the Wheels on Your Stroller' provide comfort, solidarity, and some much-needed comic relief for new parents. The wry, funny, relatable writing style and distinctive paper-cut illustrations of these 'bad' parenting moments make this a must-have book for anyone entering the mysterious club of parenthood.

Reviews

Her book, Welcome To The Club, 100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming was released last week and I mean to tell you that it is everything Raquel is: quirky, warm, and pee your pants so much that it runs down your leg and stains your carpet funny. - KeeperOfTheFruitLoops.com
