There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed a Fantastic Parent

Glenn Boozan is an Emmy-nominated comedy writer who delivers a unique approach to celebrating moms everywhere--by giving a reality check on what really constitutes a "good mother," and letting readers revel in the amazing discoveries she's made. Hilariously reassuring, grounded in facts from the animal kingdom, written in lively rhyming verse, and delightfully illustrated, There Are Moms Way Worse Than You is like a really smart picture book for parents:

Whenever you feel guilty that you haven't cleaned the house:
Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse.

For dinnertime, koala moms will feed her kids her poop.
Remember that when you feel bad for giving yours fast food.

A mom giraffe is pretty nice until the fetus drops.
She'll birth a newborn baby calf, then kick him 'til he walks.

An appendix gives more context to the featured animals' behavior. For example, that giraffe mom is only trying to encourage the baby to start walking before predators approach. The koala mom? Protecting her joeys from toxins while feeding them important nutrients. And you've just got to read about the beetles. The takeaway, though? We're all doing the best we can.
