Because sometimes the best thing an exhausted parent can hear is, “Mine did that too.”

My Kid Just Ate a Crayon is a laugh-out-loud, faith-filled collection of true parenting stories from real moms and dads in the trenches. Packed with relatable humor, hard-won grace, and honest family photos, this book is a breath of fresh air for weary parents.

Told through 36 short, standalone chapters, perfect for reading in any order, the collection captures parenting's most wild, hilarious, and unexpectedly holy moments: Lego-strewn floors, mascara-covered toddlers, airport meltdowns, and quiet grace found in the middle of the mess. Each story closes with a "Bottom Line” takeaway and a Scripture-rooted reflection, pairing genuine laughter with real spiritual encouragement. Family photos throughout give readers a warm, authentic look inside the everyday chaos and joy of parenting.

My Kid Just Ate a Crayon is perfect for:

• Parents craving a laugh, a deep breath, and a reminder they're doing better than they think
• Baby showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or a pick-me-up gift for a tired friend
• Christian parents seeking faith-based encouragement without a preachy tone
• New parents and seasoned pros alike—anyone who's ever wondered, Is it just me?

This book is not a how-to guide or a parenting manual. It's an invitation to laugh at the mayhem, find grace in the mess, and feel a little less alone in the beautiful, unpredictable work of raising kids.
