New revised edition. From Ants to Zebras, a writer-mother’s search for meaning from inside pandemic life.

Too much togetherness, the sameness of days, the wisdom of animals, the journey of becoming yourself, toddler perspectives and perspectives on toddlers. Each short essay is inspired by Eric Carle’s Very Hungry Caterpillar’s ABC board book and explores how much pandemic life asked of us.

This collection of mini-memoir invites the reader to witness the mid-pandemic mashup of challenge and beauty for one writer-mother, along with their own experience of this zeitgeisty mashup.

“Christin Rice’s prose eloquently raises pertinent questions for our current times and reassures us that it is perfectly fine not to have immediate answers to these questions and to still be doing the best we can and to savor the moments of insight and joy among us.” -Melanie Faith, author of Does It Look Like Her?
