Little Kids, Big City: Tales From a Real House in New York City
 As breakout stars of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City, Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen have inspired, infuriated, and entertained parents everywhere. Their new book continues that trend, with the added bonus of educating families dealing with the daunting task of raising children in an urban environment. Writing with unique and humorous insight into the challenges facing city parents today, Alex and Simon use their own hard-won experience as a springboard to discuss a host of parenting topics, including baby's first six months, traveling with infants, hiring caregivers, disciplining, dealing with accidents, dining out, making the most of urban life, and scheduling time for non-urban escapes. Their informative and often hair-raising stories of life in the concrete jungle make Little Kids, Big City a must-read for urban parents, as well as for any fan of the show.
In stores April 6, 2010, published by Sterling and Ross Publishers.
"Alex Mccord and Simon van Kempen's surprisingly down to earth account of their early days of parenting in NYC is as remarkable in its honesty as it is in its detail."
- Cecily von Ziegesar, New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl novels and mother of two.

The married couple of Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen are first and foremost the proud parents of two wonderful and endlessly energetic and creative children, Johan and François. They also happen to star in the hit Bravo television show The Real Housewives of New York City, where they all enjoy (or suffer at the hands of) a modicum of celebrity. The family of four (plus two cats) resides in a recently renovated brownstone in Brooklyn.
