Little Kids, Big City: Available April 6th

Little Kids, Big City: Tales From a Real House in New York CityLittle Kids, Big City, a must-read for urban parents and fans of the show alike, is made of those special Saturday mornings when the kids (and cats) resort to using your bed as a trampoline and when you just want to wear a sign around your head in bright, bold red letters that scream: THOSE ARE NOT MY CHILDREN, I SWEAR. What else can you expect from chapter titles such as, "Does a German Shepherd Need a Birth Plan?" and "The Screaming Kid on the Plane is NOT mine! (This Time)?"

You can preorder your copy today! Or, see below if we're coming to a city near you and wait to get your copy signed in store!

"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. Alex and Simon avoid the blur of parenthood (sleeplessness, short fuses, and spit-up stained cashmere) by getting it all down with humor, integrity, and a whole lot of affection."
- Cecily von Ziegesar, New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl novels and mother of two (at PS Fab)

"Alex and Simon don't take themselves too seriously, which seems to be essential to parenting. Their fresh 'he said she said' perspective on parenting is both humorous and insightful!"
- Bethenny Frankel, author, New York Times bestseller The Skinny Girl Dish

"A fun and entertaining read with an over the top enthusiasm for family and the joys of raising kids in the city. They manage to share some lessons without sounding preachy and maintain a humorous light tone."
- Alison Lowenstein, author, City Kid New York: The Ultimate Guide for NYC Parents with Kids

"Little Kids, Big City is wonderful. Witty, funny, and interesting."
- Divya Gugnani, host, Behind the Burner
