Because "a picture is worth a thousand words," Chicken Soup for the Soul offers this very special book that takes a humorous look at motherhood from the perspective of internationally syndicated and award-winning cartoonist John McPherson.

A departure from all other books in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, this collection is 100% cartoons and guaranteed to make every mom laugh out loud.

This mirth-filled gem depicts everything from pregnancy to empty nest and all points in between, in a tribute to motherhood that is filled with as much laughter as love. Every mother will enjoy the 200 John McPherson original cartoons that fill these pages, and wherever she may be on the journey of motherhood, this book will strike a chord, elicit a smile and bring forth a laugh.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Cartoons for Moms, like the perennial best-seller Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul, is destined to become the series' next blockbuster!

Introduction

In today's high-pressured, fast-paced and hectic world, comedy and humor can help us step out of the routine of our daily lives, laugh at ourselves and our foibles, gain new perspective, and return to the challenges with a renewed sense of lightness and joy.

No role is more important in life than that of a mother. At the same time, no role demands more from an individual than the role of mother in today's world. Called upon to be nurturer, cook, counselor, mediator, advocate, chauffeur, nurse―and often the sole provider―the stresses are great, the challenges are strenuous, and the demands are never-ending. But, in the long run, the rewards are both immeasurable and enduring.

We hope that this lighthearted look at the lives of mothers―from conception, through the toddler and high-school years, to dealing with empty-nest syndrome―will provide you with many laughs, chuckles and smiles. Take a moment, step back and see the humor inherent in the demands of everyday life. Most importantly, remember not to take it all too seriously!

This collection of cartoons is a new venture for us at Chicken Soup for the Soul. We are excited to be teaming up with John McPherson, whose Close to Home cartoons have added humor to a number of Chicken Soup for the Soul titles over the years.

Anyone who is a mother or any child caregiver will completely love this! It points out all the idiosyncratic aspects of motherhood known to those who have "been there and done that". It is truly hilarious because while somewhat exaggerated, it expresses the universal thoughts and feelings of mothers everywhere. I have read it several times, and love to read it when I want a good laugh.

I love it! Funny as all get out and greatly reminds me of the good ol' comic of the Farside Gallery. Get it for your mom or G-ma or for anyone to get a good laugh out of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me laugh every time I see one of these cartoons.
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016
I have loved McPherson's work for years and each collection contains gems that make me LOL. I love to share his cartoons with friends and family. He has a unique style -- not the 'polished art-director' style that some people insist on. His is more down-to-earth and relatable. It's every-day situations taken to a surreal or illogical extreme -- people who take things too literally. Just love his work. One of his cartoons I had framed on my office wall.
