Publisher Description

Kate Jones and Mandy Hose have experienced the highs and lows of parenting - and they wouldn't change a thing. The pair met a decade ago and bonded over their premature twins with additional needs, and their remarkable capacity for love, laughter and swearing like a trooper. As the mothers grew closer, however, they confided that they felt 'on-the-floor lonely' sometimes because nobody was talking about what life was like for families like theirs. It was time to give their community a voice.

So began Too Peas in a Podcast, a weekly conversation in which the two friends discuss the surprises, the challenges and the joys of parenting twins with additional needs. It was meant to support other multiple-birth mums and mums of kids with disabilities, but they were shocked to discover therapists, doctors, nurses, teachers, even people without kids were also listening.

Now, Kate and Mandy are sharing their story on the page, delving deeper into the issues they care about and offering reassurance for those navigating a child's disability. They write candidly about what it's like to receive the initial diagnosis, how they perceive their children's lives have been impacted by their additional needs, how their own lives have changed, and those of their family and friends. Above all, they convey their immense love for their children and the happiness they have brought into their lives.

With their signature empathy, honesty and compassion, the Too Peas invite you into their world to laugh, cry and make a difference.

Chose audio book as felt connected to the voices of these two amazing women from their podcast. Most wonderful book, tears too many times to count, inclusion is so important and I felt so connected to the stories. Proud to be a Pea.

Loved it!

I love the podcast and now I love the book! These ladies have helped to give me the strength to advocate for my boy and been friends when I felt alone. They share my joy in having a wonderfully neuro-diverse child. So many laughs and tears in this book!
