"This book is a true love letter, not only to Jha's own son but
also to all of our sons and to the parents--especially mothers--who
raise them." -Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race
and Mediocre Beautifully written and deeply personal, this book
follows the struggles and triumphs of one single, immigrant mother
of color to raise an American feminist son. From teaching consent
to counteracting problematic messages from the media, well-meaning
family, and the culture at large, the author offers an empowering,
imperfect feminism, brimming with honest insight and actionable
advice. Informed by Jha's work as a professor of journalism
specializing in social justice movements and social media, as well
as by conversations with psychologists, experts, other parents and
boys--and through powerful stories from her own life--How to Raise
a Feminist Son shows us all how to be better feminists and better
teachers of the next generation of men in this electrifying tour de
force. Includes chapter takeaways, and an annotated bibliography of
reading and watching recommendations for adults and children. "A
beautiful hybrid of memoir, manifesto, instruction manual, and
rumination on the power of story and possibilities of family."
-Rebecca Solnit, author of The Mother of All Questions

A Real Mum's Hilariously Honest Tales of Motherhood, Mayhem and
Mental Health 'A wonderful book all mums should read!' Gemma
Atkinson 'A book to be shared the world over.' ' I do believe this
book will save lives!' 'This book made me proud to be a woman' 'You
see, pre-motherhood I had this image of the sort of motherhood I
was going to have. Happy, confident and in total control, breezing
through my perfect new mum life, clad in white linen with a smiley
easy-going baby attached to my hip. But then, something happened.'
A moving, inspirational and at times hilarious book from
best-selling author Olivia Siegl. Part-memoir, part guide, Bonkers
follows Olivia's story of motherhood as she juggles two babies
under two alongside two harrowing battles with Postpartum
Depression and Postpartum Psychosis. Olivia's refreshingly honest
approach leaves no area of motherhood uncovered in her bid to
empower women to be able to talk about all areas of motherhood - NO
judgement! Throughout the book, this engaging and straight talking
author shares her story of motherhood and how she has since
overcome what she bills as "the most harrowing times of her life"
to prove that suffering with a mental health illness is by no means
the end of the story. A must read for anyone in need of hope that
they can get through even the darkest of times. For every mum out
there feeling lost in the wilderness. For every mum feeling
pressure to be perfect. For every mum questioning if they are good
enough. You are magnificent.
This gorgeously presented keepsake is the perfect gift for
expectant parents, enabling mums- and dads-to-be to bond with their
unborn baby. By the third trimester your baby's ears are ready to
hear! Featuring expert insights, a gentle rhyme to read to bump,
beautiful illustrations and pages to personalise. With an
introduction by Dr Kimberley Bennett (@the_psychologists_child)
about reading to children, even before they are born, expectant
parents will learn the importance of sound and rhythm for their
child's development in utero. There are pages to personalise, with
a letter to be written to baby ahead of their birth and a page to
record their name, weight and date of birth, making this book a
treasured heirloom to pass on to the child. To the back of the book
is a secure envelope where parents can keep scan photos and other
treasured items. The rhyming text which follows is a beautiful,
lyrical poem which touches on the emotions of pregnancy and the
hopes and dreams of life with a new child. Parents are encouraged
to read the poem aloud to bump, creating a loving, bonding routine
which enables the unborn baby to become familiar with their
parents' voice - whether they are the birthing parent, or not. The
poem is accompanied by the stunning illustrations of Anneli Bray,
featuring parent and baby animals, curled up together. Bedtime Book
for Bump is the perfect pregnancy gift for baby showers, Mother's
Day, Father's Day... or just because!
