In her 'battle guide' for mothers of children under 3, Libby Purves doesn’t hesitate to share some 'life hacks' that make parenting both enjoyable and manageable. Through practical advice and helpful insights, the book tracks the challenging yet rewarding journey from pregnancy to the first day of school.
