From Mary Catherine Starr, the artist behind the @momlife_comics Instagram account celebrated by moms all over the world, comes a deeply funny illustrated memoir capturing the chaos, joy, exhaustion, guilt, well-intentioned-but-clueless partners, and infinite loads of laundry that come with being a mom.
Packed with humor, warmth, and all-too-relatable anecdotes, this comic memoir explores the (often invisible) labor of modern motherhood that leaves so many moms feeling like they are losing themselves — and their minds!
Whether you're navigating a hellish sleep regression, wiping sweet potato off the walls, seething with spousal resentment (deserved and undeserved), or simply hoping to pee without a toddler watching, this candid and irreverent account perfectly captures what every mom knows in her heart to be true: motherhood is @#$% hard (and also really amazing)!
Filled with Starr's signature wit, warmth, and observational humor, Mama Needs a Minute! (Chronicle Books) tackles all the absurdities of mom life and will make you laugh, cry, and feel seen in a way only a true mom-friend can offer.
Starr will be joined in conversation by Taylor Wolfe, author of Birdie & Harlow: Life, Loss, and Loving My Dog So Much I Didn't Want Kids (...Until I Did).
