Overview

Welcome to the world of beige parenting, where newborns are swaddled in taupe blankets and toddlers play only with wooden toys. In Dress Your Baby in Sage and Taupe, Hayley DeRoche, known online as @sadbeige, delivers a witty, illustrated satire of the perfectly monochromatic curated lifestyle embraced by some parents. This guide walks new parents through every step of the sad beige parenting journey, from decorating the nursery (take care to choose a suitably existential theme such as the Vastness of the Universe), all the way to the milestone that is the first birthday party (be sure to eschew plastic party bag contents in favour of hand-whittled wooden toys). Along the way, she gently encourages new parents to realise that they are already the ideal caregiver for their unique little person. With illustrations by Julia Emiliani, this heartfelt blend of humour and social commentary is a breath of fresh air for both overwhelmed parents and those striving for Instagram perfection.
