Publisher's Summary

The first collection of poetry from Bunmi Laditan, best-selling author of Confessions of a Domestic Failure and creator of The Honest Toddler, capturing the honesty, rawness, sheer joy, and total madness of motherhood. 

With the compassion and wit that have made her a social media sensation among mothers around the world, Bunmi Laditan puts into evocative and relatable words what so many of us feel but can’t quite express. 

For mothers who love their children with a fiery fierceness but know what it is to feel crushed at the end of those long days, Dear Mother is like a warm hug that says, “I get it.”

Uplifting and relatable

This book is just what I needed just when I needed it. It is validating and forgiving and just so very relatable and uplifting. I will likely be listening to this again.

Thank you Bunmi.

Momental

Since I havent read a book by this author before I didn’t know what I was expecting when I started reading this poetry book. I stumbled across it in chapters and I wasn’t exactly sure if It was worth the read but I gave it a shot. I really liked that there was so much variety added, not just about the children, but also about the mom, the dad, the family, about expectations.I feel that this book should be read by new mothers telling them that it’s ok to figure it out as they go.
Every mother should read this book.
