`By turns bloody, sweet, bleak and joyful. It is also very, very funny' NEW STATESMANThis is a graphic memoir (like a graphic novel, but true - and also a bit graphic). It's about the delirium, chaos and strangeness of becoming a parent for the first time. It's for every one who has ever wondered if it's ok to cry when the baby cries - and also laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked and drool when the baby drools. This is definitely not a parenting manual, but it might be the only book about parenting you'll ever need. `You will cry, yes, but mainly snort with laughter' SUNDAY TIMES'The most accurate account of becoming a parent I have ever read' PHILIPPA PERRY'Bracingly truthful... very funny' OBSERVER'It made me laugh, weep, cheer and howl... essential reading for parents and their peers.' NELL FRIZZELL`So clever, so funny, so astute, so healing. Becky Barnicoat is a stone cold genius' LUCY JONES
