When I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed by the number of parenting books on the market: What to Expect The First Year, Parenting by the Book, How to Talk so Kids Will Listen, etc., etc., etc. forever and ever, amen. Now that I'm a new parent, however, I've discovered that maybe there aren't enough books on the subject after all. So for all you publishers out there, here is a list of book titles I'd like to see on the market in each genre:
Memoir: Lost in the Fog: How Childbirth Turned Me into a Walking Vegetable
Instructional: Keeping 25 Baby Care Essentials Within Arm's Reach at all Times
Medicine: The Plastic Surgeon's Guide to Turning Two Arms into Four (or more)
Sci-Fi: The Baby that Never Slept
Horror: The Meconium of Doom
Romance: Love May Hurt for a While
Self-Help: Believing You are a Good Mother (even if you can't breastfeed)
Mystery: The Case of the Tiny Vanishing Socks
Fantasy: A Painless Birth
Cooking: Microwave Gourmet: Amazing Edibles in Under Ten Minutes
Reference: The World Encyclopedia of Non-Essential Baby Items
and finally...
Health: The Breastfeeding Father: The Art of Achieving Male Lactation
I think 7% in royalties sounds fair. You know where to find me.

LOL! I have never given birth, but I LOVE those titles! Especially love the genres that go with them. Pretty clever lady, considering you are operating on little sleep! :)
Thanks for the b-day wishes, btw! :)
You're welcome!
The Art of Achieving Male Lactation. I'd read that in a flash.
I don't have children but I'd read it. Hello.
Is there a foundation I can donate in order to further this goal?
I wish! Unfortunately, I don't think any such foundation exists.
Thanks for reading!
Love it, April!! Glad to see your sense of humor hasn't faded away due to lack of sleep, etc!
