The Uncoined Dictionaries The Uncoined Dictionary of Parenthood

There is a word for the fear of spiders, but none for lowering a finally-sleeping baby into a cot one impossible millimetre at a time. The Uncoined Dictionary of Parenthood fixes that - and hundreds of other gaps in the language of raising small humans.
Lexicographer Wendell Quillfeather names the moments parenthood is actually made of, from sleepless newborn nights to teenage monosyllables. For each he invents a word and defines it, deadpan, with great tenderness.
Funny enough to give and warm enough to keep - a perfect gift for new parents, exhausted parents, and the grandparents who quietly enjoy watching them cope.
