Our little guide on how to properly (and improperly) care for your newborn has cleared 85,000 sold. That’s 85,000 new parents with at LEAST 85,000 new babys. Kind of a lot, no? We couldn’t be happier and we’re celebrating by offering 20% OFF our Nursing Baby Snapsuit™. Just use the coupon code: NURSE at checkout (offer ends May 1, 2009). But why celebrate a hit book with a Snapsuit?
Our handy baby instructions were actually first printed on our fun Snapsuits. Nursing Baby was one of the Snapsuits that caught the eye of Running Press, our eventual publisher. Here’s some Safe Baby Handling Tips trivia for y’alls:
- The book was designed and illustrated by Dave Sopp, Wry Baby’s resident art guy. In fact, every bit of design and illustration produced by Wry Baby is from his hand. You can see how he did it here.
- The couple in all the illustrations are Kelly and Dave, the authors and founders of Wry Baby.
- The poor baby featured in the book isn’t their son, but a generic, made-up baby. Kelly and Dave’s son was a toddler when they illustrated the book.
- The Wheel of Responsibility® was a last minute addition to the cover of Safe Baby Handling Tips. It was (and still is) a stand alone best-selling baby shower gift that has recently also become Wry Baby’s first iPhone App!
- We hear a lot of stories from folks who experienced some doofus rookie parent moves similar to what we feature in the book. Like the gentleman who really did throw his child too high into the air…into a ceiling fan! His wife was quick to tell us that it was okay because the ceiling fan was off.
