Kid all grown up, kind of (?) but sounds like this book is a must.

I love this whole article so much. And I will be picking up a copy of Lianna’s book!

Beautiful, the two of you. I need this book and my "kids" are 26 and 22! Seriously, this made me cry--I am not even sure why, but something to do with the wisdom of women being shared between and across generations and the willingness of women to tell the truth about their experience, which connects us always.

Thank you, Ruth. I cried when I opened the envelope with Liana's cartoon in it. Crying is good. :)

1. I’m a fan of anyone who’s a fan of Ms. Ephron or Ms. Finck, and a big fan of anyone who’s a fan of both.

2. I (a cis man) also couldn’t stop reading How To Baby!

I’m a fan of any cis man who makes lovely comments like this one about women artists and actually reads their work. ❤️

How kind of you, Ms. Copaken -- thanks! I'll also give a shout-out to Roz Chast and Allison Bechdel, who together with Mses. Ephron and Finck make a most Holy (and Earthy) Quaternity. I actually read them too!
