<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author and illustrator of <i>Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts, </i> a guidebook for new parents packed with poignant comics and tips to help couples maintain a strong relationship with all the stress a beautiful baby brings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The demands of a new baby can test a couple's relationship like nothing else! When we factor in sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, depression and anxiety, and different personalities, life with a newborn can feel a bit CRAZY. Couples tend to misinterpret this rough patch as a sign that something is wrong with the relationship, but when couples take steps toward open communication and safeguard their relationship, they can face everything new parenthood throws at them together. From the team behind the bestselling <i>Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts</i> comes a new guidebook of short essays, comics, and quick journal prompts about the stressful newborn stage, the struggles that so many new parents face, and the skills you need to tap into your strength as a couple.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Karen Kleiman's wisdom about not only taking care of the mother and her well-being, but also her partner and their whole system at large, helps us all stay connected to our partners and loved ones during a tumultuous, life-changing, and potentially relationship-taxing time. . . . God bless Karen for her support in helping us all integrate every relationship within our 'new normal' as parents. Her humor, experience, wisdom, and insight are like a port in the most heart-spinning of storms." <br><b>-Alanis Morissette</b> <p/> "​​With its real-life illustrations and digestible sections, <i>What About Us</i> gets straight to the heart of the matter, showing (not just telling) couples how having a baby impacts on their relationship, what's really going on inside both of them, what the big issues are and how to get through this trying time together. Overwhelmed and sleep-deprived parents will see themselves in the pages and find reassurance that they're normal, not alone and it won't last forever." <br><b>-Elly Taylor, perinatal relationship specialist, author and founder of <i>Becoming Us.</i></b> <p/> "Parents often experience tension in their relationships after baby, but often have limited time to read about, reflect, and work through challenges. <i>What About Us?</i> is the answer parents have been waiting for. Through powerful, relatable visuals and Karen Kleiman's decades of experience working with families, partners now have an opportunity to see they're not alone and have a roadmap to move forward together." <br><b>--Stephanie Greunke, MS, RD, CPT, PMH-C</b> <p/><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Karen Kleiman is a well-known international maternal mental-health expert with over thirty-five years of experience as a psychotherapist, teacher, and writer.
