Find your copy...
The book is divided in three sections. The first contains poems about the author's experiences of living through lockdown with her three preschool-aged children. The second contains poems about the highs and lows of pandemic parenting more generally. The third contains miscellaneous musings about various other COVID-19-related topics. The poems are complemented by charming black and white line drawings by Rebecca Gibbs. The experiences described in the poems are genuine and the drawings were mostly inspired by the author’s photographs.
