This humor book, with more than 30 cartoons, brings cheer to those who are leaning against parenthood but don't get much support from a society that teaches the four R's: Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic, and Reproduction! Serious books on the subject of choosing to be childless are out there, but nothing light-hearted -- until now. Emotions run high on this topic, and that's precisely the sort of issue where humor thrives. Erma Bombeck looked at family life, Scott Adams took on work life, and Ellen Metter and illustrator Loretta Gomez tackle the question with a life-altering answer: Is it my fate to procreate?

"...It's so refreshing to be able to laugh about not wanting children instead of making up excuses and feeling guilty..." -- Girlposse website, March, 2002
"...amusing politically correct gift, & we surely need some humor in these PC times, even for those who chose children!" -- Rebeccasreads website, April, 2002
Since publication of the book, we've learned people choose not to have children for so many reasons, with environmental concerns and simply no visceral urge to have kids being just two of the. We're glad to have published a book that casts such a positive light on being 'cheerfully childless.'
