<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> In the spirit of his wildly popular <i>New Yorker<i> pieces and the <i>New York Times<i> bestseller <i>Love Poems for Married People<i>, Thurber Prize-winning author Kenney presents a hilarious new collection of poetry for people with children. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>In the spirit of his wildly popular <i>New Yorker</i> pieces and the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Love Poems for Married People</i>, Thurber-prize winner John Kenney presents a hilarious new collection of poetry for people with children.</b> <p/>With the same brilliant wit and hilarious realism that made <i>Love Poems for Married People</i> such a hit, John Kenney is back with a brand new collection of poems, this time taking on the greatest joy in life: children. Kenney covers it all, from newborns, toddlers, and sleep deprivation, to the terrible twos, terrible tweens, and terrible teens. A parent's love is unconditional, but sometimes that button can't help but be pushed. Between back to school shopping, summer vacations that never end, the awkwardness of puberty, the inevitable post-college moving back in, and more, a parent's job is never done, whether they like it or not. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>One of <i>Fredericksburg Free Lance Star</i>'s Best Books of 2019 </b> <p/>"Packed full of laugh-out-loud poems that are all too relatable if you are married with kids--or just married." <i><b>-The Washington Post</b></i> <p/>"[A] hilarious look into parenting."<b>--<i>TODAY </i></b> <p/>Kenney's sweet, funny poems about the banal and everyday--too-true nods to the intimacy of sharing a bed with someone without touching at all, or the nothing-speak of corporate communication--make great presents for spouses, friends, and work wives. <i><b>--Vanity Fair</b></i> <p/>"Often profound, often hilarious, Kenney captures what it's like to raise a human being from the ground up."<b>--<i>Cleveland Scene <p/></i></b>"[<i>Love Poems for People with Children</i>] will be immediately relatable to all parents and a much needed laugh.
