Who throws bigger tantrums, you or your monster?!

From the moment this beautiful monster wakes, an emotional day of ups and downs begins.

“Every day you make me crazy, I love you to pieces, Beautiful Monster.” 

‘Love You to Pieces, Beautiful Monster’ describes the emotional roller coaster ride that is lovingly referred to as: A Day in the Life of Parenting Young Children. From breakfast to bedtime, you’ll recognize all the emotions a parent and their sweet child go through in just one day.

Through the humor, this message of love shines through – our babies make us crazy, yet we can’t help but love them to pieces.

Parents describe this book as the perfect baby shower gift. It also acts as a welcomed surprise, mailed to your spouse or friend that is navigating parenting and could surely use a laugh! But truthfully, the best way to gift it is to yourself and your little monster!

It is time to snuggle up and enjoy the perfect children’s book together.
