pickI'm picky about poetry, but really liked this one, a collection of poems about fatherhood, with all the joy and anxiety that can provoke. The tone ranges from light-hearted to serious, as some poems also contemplate the challenges of parenting in a society where a Black boy will someday be a Black man, and shift its view accordingly. I'm looking forward to reading more of Smith's work.

pick5/5 ⭐
I'm not a parent, but I still wanted to read it cause 1. I gifted it and wanted to know if it was a good gift and 2. I hoped it would help me interact better with children (as an aunt and at work). Now I wish I could recommend this book to everyone, I learned so, so much! And it's all explained very clearly and compassionately.
On the idea of forcing kids to eat whatever we say they need to eat: “Without ever intending it, we‘re normalizing the idea that it‘s ok for somebody else to dominate your body, to decide what you put inside it - if they love you.” !!!
little library haul.
loving the witch hat atelier books!

pickI enjoyed it so much. Expecting our first kid in two weeks and I have so many things to take away from this read. I asked my partner to also read it because I want to keep our relationship a happy&strong one even when the baby arrives and this book has a lot of food for thought 🙏🫶 #janceedunn #hownottohateyourhusbandafterkids
so-soThis came highly suggested in a Google search. While I‘ve reconnected with my faith, That wasn‘t the draw. Just trying to learn to be a more present, less anxious and triggered mom. Just out here trying to break generational trauma- no easy task. This was honestly only ok. Pretty mediocre as parenting books go.
Started this one after Kim Jiyoung. Had been debating getting a new therapist, but by the end of the intro I knew it was time! I downloaded the PDF of the questionnaires and wow talk about clarity! I don‘t know if any real healing has happened yet, but someone is ready for therapy now. Very clear how both my mother and grandmother expressed their emotional immaturity. Talk about an eye opener!
