Big Tent Books, It’s for Kids!

My Beautiful Mommy, a book to explain plastic surgery to children, will be available this Mother’s Day.

My Beautiful Mommy is aimed at kids ages four to seven and features a plastic surgeon named Dr. Michael (a musclebound superhero type) and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, a nose job and breast implants. Before her surgery the mom explains that she is getting a smaller tummy: “You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better.” Mom comes home looking like a slightly bruised Barbie doll with demure bandages on her nose and around her waist.

    I’m trying my smart-ass best to think up additional, related titles, but shaking my head from side to side and slapping my cheeks in dismay interferes with the smart-ass control center in my brain.
