The laugh-out-loud, spot-on comic collection that every nursing mom (and supportive dad!) needs--the perfect funny new mom gift!
"Jan and Howard Bennett have created a treasure trove of funny situations about breastfeeding that every parent will recognize. You'll love this book whether your baby is still nursing or is out of diapers and making his or her way in the world." --Alyssa Milano With over 100 witty cartoons, The Breast Is Yet to Come transforms the chaos of breastfeeding into comedy gold. From the mechanics of nursing to pop culture parodies, it's a refreshing, relatable take on the ups and downs of feeding a baby. Featuring diverse illustrations, The Breast Is Yet to Come puts a playful spin on everything from Shakespeare to Picasso, Newton to da Vinci. Lady Macbeth scrubs at stubborn breastmilk stains ("Out, damn'd spot!"), the Vitruvian Woman nurses her baby in a hilarious twist on da Vinci's classic, and Goldilocks eavesdrops as three baby bears debate nipples that are too soft, too hard, and just right. Breastfeeding is incredible--but it's also messy, exhausting, and sometimes downright absurd. A good laugh is the best remedy for sleep deprivation, and The Breast Is Yet to Come delivers. Perfect for new parents, baby shower gifts, and anyone who's been there, this book is a reminder that no one's alone in the wild ride of parenthood.Author Biography

Jan is a fiber artist and teacher. She taught first grade for 18 years before focusing on art education. For the past 20 years, she has taught art to children from preschool to third grade. Amy Albright has been making art as long as she can remember. Albright grew up in the Allegheny National Forest of Pennsylvania, so the natural world is her first love and primary subject matter. Her art involves fine attention to detail and capturing realism with a soul. When she's not making art, Albright can be found coaching private clients, working with animals, writing like a madwoman, zipping around on her bike, or planning her next adventure.
