Have your kids ever shaved the dog? Or decided pants are optional? Don't worry, you are not alone. Parenting is hard and this mummy is f*cking tired.

Inspired by the story of a beloved caterpillar, The Very F*cking Tired Mummy is an all-too-relatable tale of the frustration, exhaustion and sometimes unexpected joy of parenthood.

Here we follow the journey of one mummy over the course of a week, taking everything life throws at her with a side of wine, coffee, chocolate from last Christmas, the kids' leftover lunch and even the occasional dog treat.

It will comfort anyone for whom eight hours of sleep seems like a distant memory, and serve as a welcome reminder that sometimes, just sometimes, we all need a break...

A deeply relatable, beautifully illustrated, laugh-out-loud funny parody of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, featuring one very tired mummy
