Warning: Parents are glitchy.
They stop being silly, forget how to play, and sometimes even lose their funny bone. Luckily, kids know exactly how to fix them.

How to Fix Your Parents is a laugh-out-loud children’s picture book that flips the script—kids are the ones helping grown-ups remember how to laugh, play, and enjoy life. With cheeky goats, colorful illustrations, and hilarious “fixes,” this playful read celebrates the imagination and power of children everywhere.

But this book is more than giggles—it gives families a fun, lighthearted way to talk about love, feelings, and connection. Bedtime laughs turn into real-life conversations, making it a family favorite kids will want again and again.

👉 Bonus Activity: Kids design their very own Parent-Fix Toolkit on the final spread, turning reading time into playtime.

Perfect for:

Parents who secretly need fixing (spoiler: that’s all of them)
Bedtime stories that end with giggles
Classrooms looking for an interactive read-aloud
Gift-giving (birthdays, holidays, baby showers, or new parents)
Fans of The Day the Crayons Quit and How to Babysit a Grandma

✨ Ideal for ages 4–8
✨ A laugh-out-loud family favorite

Because sometimes, even parents need a little fixing… and maybe a goat or two.
