It's two a.m. and you've got a crying child and you know you'll never remember this five years from now, but tonight it's all there is.
It's two p.m. and the kids have covered themselves - outside and in! - with petroleum jelly, in just under thirty seconds. You know this could never happen to anyone else. Could it?
No Parent Is An Island explores those moments when life becomes ... an adventure! For author Paula Johanson, it has been an adventure complicated by twins, a farm, and a partner with an overdeveloped sense of humour. To say nothing of pigs, splendid isolation, and forgotten territory.
As Paula writes: Sometimes all it takes is a single lyric, like the Travelling Willburys singing "I've been robbed and ridiculed/ in daycare centres and night schools/ handle me with care" to get people in daycare centres and night schools across a continent singing bits of a song, all that season, while rocking their kids.
Doublejoy Books is pleased to present this new edition of No Parent Is An Island, a celebrated book that is now the first book in the Slice of Life series by Paula Johanson. Look for the sequel Working Parent with more family stories! The series goes on with Under The Plow, a collection of Johanson's popular op-ed columns for a rural newspaper.
"Paula Johanson chronicles the adventure of parenthood with wry wit and ironic accuracy." - Jim Holland, editor, Island Parent magazine
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Paula's insight into parenting. I laughed (to tears) along with her at the antics of her children (and husband) and found myself nodding agreement over life's trials. Paula has found a way to survive with a smile. This book is a very pleasant reminder that children are fun, even when they challenge us to the Moon." - Christine Stusek, mother of three, artist, daycare provider
"This book helped me stay sane when my kids were small. It's just the right size to keep in the bathroom." - eager fan who bought two more autographed copies to give her friends.
