A child's plans are ruined when her parents have the gall to stop to talk to the neighbors in My Parents Won't Stop Talking!, a laugh-out-loud picture book about patience by Emma Hunsinger and Tillie Walden.
It’s time to go to the park, and Molly can’t wait! It’s going to be awesome and amazing and-
OH NO!
The neighbors have spotted her moms, and now they’re talking. A lot. And everything they say is boring. Minutes feel like hours, hours feel like days, and days feel like eons . . .
Will her parents ever stop talking?!
This is a clever, irreverent take on a universal childhood dilemma, written and illustrated by two stars in the comics world.
"Deeply satisfying, all-too-real wallowing with an expressive character in full-throttle comic agony." -Publishers Weekly
"Textual and visual humor is on constant boil... Pair this with Liz Scanlon’s Five Minutes for a witty dive into what kids endure in a trying adult world." -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)
"Accurately and humorously capture[s] the agony and interminability of waiting." -Booklist
