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.”

Loved this book!

I’m a huge Bunmi fan, so when I heard she had a new book coming out I couldn’t wait! When I found out it was poetry....um, I think I’ll pass (I said until I listened to the sample). I decided to give it a shot and so happy I did! I cried, laughed and related throughout. I can’t wait to listen again and take notes of my favorite quotes 😊

Mothers - read this.

We are not alone. This book is a reminder of that community that is mothers. It is at once empowering and humbling.

Just what I needed.

A breath of fresh air when I felt suffocated by the pressure of motherhood. A must listen for all moms.
