Humorous, heart-breaking, thoughtful and occasionally embarrassing accounts of well-known celebrity parents

It doesn’t matter whether someone is a celebrity, a “civilian,” or a single mother or father. . . parenting is a topic that brings up common feelings in just about all moms and dads: love, trepidation, angst, tenderness, frustration, wonderment, sadness, delight, and awe.

In this book, well-known parents such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Donald Trump, Carnie Wilson, Téa Leoni, Madonna, Jim Carrey, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Denis Leary, Wayne W. Dyer, Hugh Jackman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Antonio Banderas, Sarah Jessica Parker, Connie Chung, Maury Povich, and many more share their varied experiences in the world of parenting. Sometimes humorous, often heartbreaking, always thoughtful, and occasionally embarrassing, the accounts presented here are truly entertaining and relatable.

This is the perfect book for all parents—no matter whether one’s kids are babies, teens, or Baby Boomers. So open up the book anywhere . . . and prepare to laugh, cry, nod your head in agreement, and ache with empathy and joy.
