Reviews
"This dreamy [book] about new motherhood deftly examines the highs and lows of bringing a tiny creature into the world. Ahlqvist's illustrations are raw and engaging, and she confronts difficult topics (like financial strain and postpartum sex) with honesty and humor. A gift from start to finish.
- Grace Farris, author of Mom Milestones
"[A] beautiful book. It's so lovely and heartfelt and true. It will resonate with so many new parents, and make them feel heard and understood."
- Lucy Knisley, author of Kid Gloves and Stepping Stones
"Emma Ahlqvist's drawings are so beautifully perceptive. I saw myself in many pages of her book - from the simple, primal pleasure of nurturing a small baby, to the very modern stress of parenting through the climate crisis. My Body Created A Human is funny, relatable and moving. I loved it."
- Becky Barnicoat, cartoonist, and illustrator, The New Yorker, BuzzFeed, The Guardian
"Many a new mom will relate."
