Go to Sleep (I Miss You): Cartoons from the Fog of New Parenthood

Description

Lucy Knisley is one of the great memoirists of the graphic novel format. Following the completion of her pregnancy memoir Kid Gloves (and the birth of her baby), Lucy embarked on a new project: documenting new motherhood in short, spontaneous little cartoons, which she posted on her Instagram, and which quickly gained her a huge cult following among other moms. The best of those wildly popular little cartoons are collected in this adorable gift book, a perfect read for expecting parents, new parents, and anyone who loves funny, relatable comics storytelling.

Lucy Knisley lives in Chicago with her partner, young son, and orange cat. She makes graphic novels and children's books and one excellent human.
