One Whole Hippopotamus: A Book About Parts and Patterns

A hilarious gift for moms full of irreverent meditations that provide much-needed comic relief for the many inane (and insane) moments of motherhood.

From the creator of the popular Mommy Cusses blog and Instagram account, this is the guidebook to staying sane when motherhood does you dirty. Perfect for fans of Horizontal Parenting, Go the F*ck to Sleep, and There Are Moms Way Worse Than You, it is a laugh-out-loud collection packed with irreverent humor and plenty of profanity, featuring snarky guided meditations divided into five sections:

• Mom Rage
• Mom Overwhelm
• People Suck
• Kid A**holery
• Doing Our F*cking Best

Whether you’re trying (and failing) to pee alone, leave the park after you’ve had your fill of following your kid around like their hired swing-pushing goon, stepping on yet another f*cking toy dinosaur, or trying to keep it together while your mother-in-law dispenses parenting advice, these pages offer solidarity, hilarity, and encouragement when moms need it most.

FUN-TO-READ ADVICE: Featuring 40 bite-sized meditations on familiar and relatable mom moments, this compact humor book is perfect for busy parents who don't have time to read or sit on a meditation cushion. The irreverent take will resonate with any mom looking for comic relief.

SASSY STRESS REDUCTION: Delivered with wit, warmth, and delightfully justifiable rage, Mom Meditations is an excellent way for moms to laugh at the absurdities of motherhood and take .5 f*cking seconds to themselves.

GREAT MOM GIFT: This colorfully illustrated book makes a fun, cheeky gift for Mother’s Day, birthdays, and baby showers. It is also great for giving to a friend, sister, cousin, or any mom who would appreciate a present that says, “I see you.”
