A bedtime parody for the menopause years

Using Goodnight Moon as its point of departure, this illustrated parody turns the familiar bedtime-book setup toward menopause and perimenopause. Its playful text and images touch on hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in body hair, while also acknowledging the freedoms and hard-won wisdom associated with getting older. The result is a humorous take on a life stage often discussed through its physical symptoms, with aging itself included in the celebration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults approaching or experiencing menopause or perimenopause
  • Readers who enjoy humorous illustrated parodies of familiar books
  • Those interested in comic perspectives on aging and women’s health

Book overview

This made me laugh. Brava!" --Isabella Rossellini

A laugh-out-loud parody of Goodnight Moon for any woman approaching (or deep in the throes of) menopause, written and illustrated under pseudonyms by publishing veteran Brenda Bowen and award-winning artist Jessie Hartland.

Riffing on the classic children's book Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Night Sweats takes on "the change" with big heart and humor. Through playful prose and witty illustrations, Haut Flasch and Mina Pauze explore the trials of menopause (and perimenopause)--hot flashes, mood swings, too much hair some places, too little others. At the same time, they cheer for the freedom that comes with getting older--goodbye, cramps! hello hard-won wisdom!--as they celebrate the fabulousness of women of a certain age.
