From acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck comes a clever and validating twist on parent-child dynamics.

This collection of classic parental nags are cleverly betrayed by the situations shown, in which it’s made clear that the child knows better. Each scenario is worthy of a giggle, adding a lightheartedness to the inevitable dynamics between parents and children. Cartoonist Liana Finck has created a catharsis for her own childhood memories of knowing better than authority figures, and in doing so, validates young readers with the respect and understanding they deserve.
