I Made A Children’s Book Parody About A Tired Lockdown Mommy, And It’s What We Can All Relate To

This lockdown had been hard on everyone, but for parents with young kids, there is another level to it. My lockdown with a 4-year-old was an inspiration for this book—”F***ing Tired Lockdown Mummy”. It takes a spin of everyone’s favorite The Very Hungry Caterpillar by brilliant artist Eric Carle. We know it, we love it, and now it’s time to make a parody out of it (another one).

This work is my first book since graduating as Illustrator, even though it was many years ago. I love drawing and painting, but it was hard for me to find my voice in a picture story form. It was my way of dealing with all the things happening around me and trying to go back to work on something that is mine.

I made the book as a personal project to get over the creative block and finally finish something. It took me a month to do all writing, illustrations, and editing. At first, I only shared it with friends and family, but in few last days it started to go around the world, and it’s fantastic!
