There’s nothing quite like a toddler meltdown. Kids can be set off by the smallest thing—a broken toy, meeting Santa, being told to stop licking their shoes—and their fits are often unintentionally hilarious. That’s the idea behind Greg Pembroke’s hit website, Reasons My Son Is Crying and the brand new book, REASONS MY KID IS CRYING. Like the irresistible blog, REASONS MY KID IS CRYING pairs full-color photos of adorable kids having not-so-adorable fits, along with deadpan descriptions of why these tots are freaking out. Part documentary, part therapy, and 100% entertaining, REASONS MY KID IS CRYING is a laugh-out-loud chronicle of the seemingly minor events that can trigger hysterics. It’s proof that parenting is always an adventure in absurdity, and sometimes all you can do is laugh.
