“This made me laugh. Brava!
”
—Isabella Rossellini
A laugh-out-loud parody of
Goodnight Moon
for any woman approaching (or deep in the throes of) menopause, written and illustrated under pseudonyms by publishing veteran Brenda Bowen and award-winning artist Jessie Hartland.
Riffing on the classic children’s book
,
Goodnight Night Sweats
takes on “the change” with big heart and humor. Through playful prose and witty illustrations, Haut Flasch and Mina Pauze explore the trials of menopause (and perimenopause)—hot flashes, mood swings, too much hair some places, too little others. At the same time, they cheer for the freedom that comes with getting older—goodbye, cramps! hello hard-won wisdom!—as they celebrate the fabulousness of women of a certain age.
