No parent is perfect, and a new book tackles that concept with comedy!
Penguin Workshop and Rise have a book designed to validate kids who sometimes know better than the authority figures in their lives. There are times that parents expect a little too much of their kids, and You Broke It! faces the subject with light-hearted and joyful art, a series of funny scenarios, and an acknowledgment that sometimes it feels like grown-ups don’t know what they’re doing.
You Broke It! features a full collection of parents nagging at kids, with a comedic undertone sure to bring a smile to young readers’ faces. Whether it’s a turtle telling their kid to speed up or a tornado nagging about mess-making, this book is full of adorable illustrations capturing those moments when kids might be feeling a bit frustrated with their parental guidance.
The book is written and illustrated by Liana Finck, author of adult titles Let There Be Light, Passing for Human, and Excuse Me. Her book How to Baby is a graphic memoir of motherhood featuring her stylized cartoons, stories of the trials and tribulations of being a mom, and wry humor.
You Broke It! is available now at a variety of retailers. Give the little ones in your life the gift of validation in a fun and cute cartoony package!
