The crazy first year

BY VARIOUS AUTHORS

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A collection of real, funny, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking stories from exhausted first-time parents during their first year on the job. This is not a parenting book.

Babies grow up so fast. Let’s document all these shenanigans.

The “crazy” first year is filled with many firsts for you and your child. Wouldn’t it be fun to share and immortalize those funny, heartwarming, and emotional anecdotes into a book for all of us to read 10 years from now? We made it happen.

In this book, 24 parents share remarkable stories about their first year on the job. Once again, PaperKat Books proved that anyone can write a book and self-publish it.

You just need the PaperKat Books Team.
