“Philippa Rice describes pregnancy and life with a newborn in a beautiful, charming style that make the challenges seem manageable and a lot less frightening. Her drawings became my friends and provided a comforting lens to peer through. She is an expert at editing and controlling focus—a master at simplicity. The clarity with which she sees and presents her world is at the heart of what makes this book so soothing and appealing.”
