Motherhood is a messy masterpiece—let this book give you a hug (then make you snort-laugh).
Dear Mother is a punch-drunk collection of poems that dives into the chaos, joy, and guilt of modern parenting. With the sharp wit that made Bunmi Laditan’s Honest Toddler go viral, this book cuts through the sugar-coated parenting anthem and gives a real, heartfelt shout-out to the moms who don’t do perfect—they do real.
✦ Relatable one-liners about coffee-fueled survival
✦ Moments of raw emotion when mom guilt is real
✦ A fresh voice for anyone trying to balance love, laughter, and life on the edge of exhaustion
📖 Condition: Gently used trade paperback. Clean pages, intact binding, minor shelf wear—because every page turn shows it’s been loved.
Perfect for: Tired parents, poetry lovers, and anyone who needs a good laugh (and maybe a tissue).
