Go to Sleep (I Miss You): Cartoons from the Fog of New Parenthood

I first saw some of these comics when the artist posted them on Instagram. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and related to the comics as she developed. This book came out at a perfect time after the birth of my son. I hope she makes another one about the toddler years!

Perfect. Finished it in one sitting while my babe was asleep- kept me from missing her too much!

The author does say that these are just random sketches done during the newborn days that she turned into a book. So while there’s no narrative, there are lots of really relatable parenting moments. It fit well with the fog of new motherhood when life feels like a bunch of little events and chunks of time anyway.

I saw the comic on the cover and thought, that is how I feel ALL the time! I LOVED this book and now follow her on Instagram. There are so many parts of motherhood that I didn’t realize were so universal. I identified with basically every comic she drew. Loved this and would recommend for any parent!

This was recommended to me by an old friend who also recently had a baby. It was a fun quick read to flip through which is good because I don’t have much free time with a newborn. Lots of funny moments and me going “yup that’s me too”. I’m glad to have this and support the author/artist.

What a great book! I gave birth this past year, so all of the amazing and challenging experiences illustrated in this book had me laughing out loud and nodding my head. Highly recommend.

I loved it! It was so relatable. I kept sending pictures of the pages to my husband while I read. I can just see the author quickly making each age in between baby naps.

Compared to her other books I felt like it needed a little bit more but I think this is a good book and that if you are a new parent you should totally read it.

Love all of Lucy Knisley’s book! If you are a new parent who understands the fun in parenting, this is a nice, quick read for you!

Amazingly accurate. The love. The exhaustion. The love. It is such a hard season, yet so prescious. I love this book!

So funny and so relatable. My husband and I both loved it.

Cutest book ever!

So cute omg if u have kids u can relate or a great gift if u know someone having a baby. So funny

Good humor that I think all new moms can relate to.

I had ordered this book after reading the author's other book"Kid Gloves : nine months of careful chaos." Which I really enjoyed. While this was book was a cute look into the good, the bad and the ulgly of being a new parent I was hoping it would have more in depth stories and experiences. This book is more single page illustrations of a single moment or thought. Still gave me a chuckle or two but definitely not what I was expecting/hoping for

Sigo a la artista en redes sociales y decidí comprar el libro como regalo para una amiga que acababa de dar a luz. ¡Le ha encantado! Vale totalmente la pena.

A gem, completely captures those fleeting moments of the baby days. Her drawings are amazing and she has a gift in illustrating the tiny moments.
