Catastrophic Happiness: Finding Joy in Childhood's Messy Years by Catherine Newman

4.0

This is the sort of book we should be handed by our friends, loved ones, and pediatricians, instead of the usual What to Expect When You Attempt Sleep Training While Creating Super Geniuses situation. It's light and deep. It's the friendly, wise voice of someone a step or two ahead that you wish you really had in your life. It's normal joy and real, messy, dailiness. It's simple and straightforward without ever giving advice. This is not a how-to. It's so much better. This is a love letter to real life.
