this book feels like a soft exhale you didn’t know you were holding 🫶✨
This poetry collection captures motherhood in all its messy, tender, overwhelming honesty—from pregnancy to the first five years of raising a child.
It doesn’t romanticize the experience, but it also doesn’t drain it of beauty.
Instead, it sits right in the middle: the exhaustion, the identity shift, the quiet strength, the grief for who you were and the love for who you’re becoming 🤍
The poems are short, accessible, and deeply relatable. You don’t have to decode them—you feel them.
Some lines hit like a mirror, others like a hug.
It speaks especially to mothers who feel both lost and found at the same time, and to women navigating postpartum emotions that aren’t talked about enough 🌙
The minimalist illustrations add to the softness of the book, making it perfect to gift or return to during quiet moments.
If you love raw, confessional poetry in the vein of Rupi Kaur or Kate Baer, this one will resonate deeply 📖✨
