New Releases by Amber Dusick

A hilarious illustrated book about the joys and challenges of parenting Parenting is hard. Babies poop, kids are messy and they never seem to want to eat the meal you spent an hour cooking, even though it was their favorite last week. Yes, parenting is hard, but sometimes you just have to laugh about it. Because if you don''t laugh, you might just cry. In this laugh-out-loud funny book for parents, Amber Dusick uses crappy pictures to illustrate the highs and lows of raising a little human. Covering topics from sleeping to eating to pooping and playing, this is the comprehensive guide to parenting you never knew you needed. Previously published.

An alpaca knitting? Hedgehogs in a hot air balloon? How about a peacock at a tea party or a gnome family relaxing in a hammock? This coloring book is fun for the whole family to color! Features 56 pages printed on one side only.

Klar ist Elternsein das Schönste auf der Welt. Trotzdem macht es manchmal keinen Spaß. Genauso geht es auch Amber Dusick. Deshalb hat sie damit angefangen, auf ihrem Blog die witzigen (und frustrierenden) Alltagsgeschichten aufzuschreiben, die einem als Mutter oder Vater so zustoßen. Und mit – zugegebenermaßen nicht sehr guten – Zeichnungen zu illustrieren. Ihr urkomischer Blick auf das Leben mit Kindern machte ihren Blog über Nacht zum durchschlagenden Erfolg. Und zeigt vor allem, dass der tägliche Wahnsinn mit Kindern ganz stinknormal ist.

The popular blogger, illustrator, mother, and author of Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures delves into special quirks of marriage. In Marriage: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures, Amber Dusick shares real stories of real life with her real husband. She provides much-needed laughs about coping with another person’s hygiene habits, cleaning rituals (including their ritual of not cleaning), financial decisions, cooking styles and everything else that makes your spouse weird and annoying special and perfect in every way. “Funny and flattering quote from loving, supportive, perfect husband.” —Crappy Husband

"The drawings aren''t very good, Mama." —Crappy Boy, age 5 Of course you love being a parent. But sometimes, it just sucks. I know. I''m Amber Dusick and I started my blog Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures because I needed a place to vent about the funny (and frustrating) day-to-day things that happened to me as a parent. Turns out, poop is hilarious! At least when you''re not the one wiping it up. This book won''t make your frustrating moments any less crappy. But these stories about my Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy and my husband, Crappy Papa, will hopefully make you laugh. Because you''re not alone. And sometimes the crappiest moments make the best memories. Parenting is wonderful! And also, well, you know.
