About This Book
Reach for this book when you are in the thick of the 'frazzled parent' stage or when an older sibling is struggling with a crying baby at home. It provides a much-needed moment of levity for families dealing with the unpredictable nature of an infant's moods. The story follows Frieda and Boffo Clown, circus performers who are experts at making people laugh but find themselves completely stumped by their own wailing newborn. Despite their best tricks and silliest faces, Baby Clown keeps crying. This humorous picture book is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 5) because it validates the frustration of a noisy household while emphasizing that love and persistence win the day. Parents will appreciate the nod to the 'survival mode' of early parenthood, while children will enjoy the slapstick comedy and the relatable 'WAAAAH!' of the tiny protagonist.
