With style, humor, and warmth, this giftable book from beloved illustrator Rani Ban will reassure any new parent that they are not alone.

For anyone experiencing the contradictory chaos and joy of early parenthood, illustrator Rani Ban offers no-bullshit wisdom and sparks of hope from the postpartum universe.

Combining the raw honesty and humor of Allie Brosh's Solutions and Other Problems with the warmth of classic parenting memoirs, Rani Ban's debut will reassure any new parent that they are not alone.

Designed to be read in stolen moments between feedings and diaper changings, this modern take on early parenthood offers a candid but validating perspective on the highs and lows of postpartum life.

With short, hand-lettered essays and poems and Ban's evocative mixed-media illustrations, This Is Terrible, This Is Wonderful is an affirming, unfiltered self-purchase or shower gift for new parents in the thick of it.
