Here are a few recommendations for treating the moms in your life.

FOR THE BRAND NEW MOM

Probably not the time to get her a long involved novel. This mom needs sleep, appreciation, and good maternity leave policies. Give her something sentimental or humorous that works with her attention span.

How to Baby: A No-Advice-Given Guide to Motherhood, with Drawings by Liana Finck is a wryly personal and deeply relatable graphic memoir for grownups skewering the "traditional" parenting book to chronicle the absurdities, frustrations, and soaring joys of new parenthood—from the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and author. It is THE book to help moms feel seen, and to help find the humor in the hardships.

You Broke It! is a picture book also by the acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck. This collection of classic parental nags are cleverly betrayed by the situations shown, in which it's made clear that the child knows better. Each scenario is worthy of a giggle, adding a lightheartedness to the inevitable dynamics between parents and children.
