INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
A must-have book for all parents, this illustrated collection of tender, funny, radically honest poems about parenthood, based on a series of popular Instagram posts, is the perfect baby shower or Mother's Day gift.
Modern parenthood can feel indescribable. This poignant collection of poetry and art chronicles the ups and downs of a rollercoaster ride that every parent will recognize. Capturing the joys and frustrations that come with each fleetingly precious (or interminable) stage of development, Poems of Parenting will be a balm to the soul of weary parents.
From fresh baby snuggles to terrible tantrums, and everything in-between, artist Loryn Brantz has touched on something unique and universal in her debut poetry collection based on her popular Instagram series. Poems of Parenting is the perfect companion on any parent's journey through the uncertain terrain of raising cherished children in extraordinary times.
Loryn Brantz is an author, artist, poet, and director. She is the creator of two bestselling board book series, Feminist Baby and It Had to Be You (Love Poems Your Baby Can See) and is also a two-time Emmy Award winner for her work on Sesame Street. She is currently a consulting creative director for the beloved children's education program Ms. Rachel.
Her greatest desire is to make the world a better place through art, even if just a little-but hopefully, a lot. Loryn lives in New York City with her husband, architect Jake J. Brotter, and children, Dalia and Ronen.
This beautiful collection of illustrated poetry reminds you that you aren't alone with:
Relatable Parenting Poems: Find validation and a knowing laugh in verses that capture everything from the magic of baby snuggles to the madness of toddler tantrums.

Reviews / Votes
"Every one of these poems is a special gem. A voice to the highs and lows of becoming a parent. The book itself will experience tear soakages, guffaws and warm smiles."- Joff Bush, Composer of Bluey
"Poems of Parenting is tender, charming, sweet, and so real. The dual art and poetry is a one-two punch of genius. It captures parenthood as we know it in the most beautiful little bottle, and at times, is so profound it even transcends it" - Brandon Stanton, #1 New York Times bestselling author and creator of Humans of New York
"Poems of Parenting is chicken soup for the post-pandemic parenting soul. Loryn Brantz masterfully captures the messy, mind-numbing, and marvelous moments of motherhood... often in 10 perfect words or less. I highly recommend this book for any parent as they wade through the swamp of parenthood for microdoses of camaraderie, catharsis, and very good humor."
- Zoe Bisbing, LCSW, psychotherapist and creator of @mybodypositivehome
