| About the Book
"Faith R. Foyil has managed to reduce parenting down to its basic
components and being a Mom, Dad, spouse or caregiver has never been
as funny. Would make the perfect gift for those brand new parents
for whom free time is at a premium!"—Linda Sharp, columnist and
author of Stretchmarks On My Sanity.
Each page of 101 Haiku for Moms contains at least one
delightfully irreverent, but far from irrelevant, parenting truth.
Everyone with children will nod their heads sympathetically and say,
“Gee,we know JUST what you mean!” Like traditional Haiku, these
poems are structured into compact, three-line, 5/7/5 syllable
schemes. And that’s where the “traditional” stops: I remember when
caffeine kept me up at night, not baby with croup. Faith R. Foyil
pokes fun at everyday parenting topics from sibling rivalry, runny
noses and play group socializing to family vacations, carpool
nightmares and postpartum weight gain. 101 Haiku for Moms
will make a fun read for the mom-to-be, the new mom, the not-so-new
mom or anybody who can relate to the universal experiences of all
females who answer to the name of “MAAAAHHM!”
