Born out of a viral “Shouts & Murmurs” piece in The New Yorker, this darkly humorous, charming, and brilliant graphic memoir, in the tradition of Allie Brosh and Roz Chast, brings the first few years of parenthood to life.

With the wit of a comedian and the observational skills of a sociologist surveying a new subculture, Becky Barnicoat writes about her first few years of parenthood with warmth, sharp insight, and uproarious humor in her debut graphic memoir Cry When the Baby Cries.

Barnicoat’s prose is always relatable, smart, and so funny while discussing everything from how ignoring women’s pain is baked into the practice of obstetrics to the impossibility of putting a child down drowsy but awake while you are permanently drowsy but awake, to the tyranny of gentle parenting, and more.

Barnicoat gives us permission to cry when the baby cries, and also laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked, drool, and revel in a deeply strange new world ruled by a tyrannical tiny leader, growing bigger and more cherished by the day.

At the time of Creation, Sky Father united with Earth Mother and from their union was born Stone Child. At birth, Stone Child knew instinctively that it would be her task to transform herself. To this end she stepped onto the Spirit Path.

Stone Child's Mother is a shared quest for wholeness. Written for those who yearn to acquire the necessary life-giving mother energy to heal.-----"Virginia Nemetz has the unusual gift to write about the mother archetype in its personal and symbolic aspect. Her own lifelong quest is beautifully interwoven with the universal background. Fluently written, her book will capture the longing of so many who yearn for union with the female core of the journey in tune with the ever changing and life-giving mother energy in its dark, light and spiritual aspects, which guide the lives of women. This beautiful book touched me deeply. It is genuine and shares Virginia's journey in a generous way."-Kathrin Asper, PhD, author of The Inner Child in Dreams and The Abandoned Child Within: On Losing and Regaining Self-Worth
