Reviews
"Poems of Parenting is tender, charming, sweet, and so real. The dual art and poetry is a one-two punch of genius. It captures parenthood as we know it in the most beautiful little bottle, and at times, is so profound it even transcends it" -- Brandon Stanton, #1 New York Times bestselling author and creator of Humans of New York
"Every one of these poems is a special gem. A voice to the highs and lows of becoming a parent. The book itself will experience tear soakages, guffaws and warm smiles."
-- Joff Bush, Composer of Bluey
"Poems of Parenting is chicken soup for the post-pandemic parenting soul. Loryn Brantz masterfully captures the messy, mind-numbing, and marvelous moments of motherhood... often in 10 perfect words or less. I highly recommend this book for any parent as they wade through the swamp of parenthood for microdoses of camaraderie, catharsis, and very good humor."
