Seaweed Woman: A Postpartum Folktale - PRINT First Edition

LIMITED, FIRST EDITION PRE-ORDERS WILL BE MAILED IN OCTOBER 2024. YOU WILL RECEIVE PERSONALIZED UPDATES REGARDING YOUR ORDER(S) WITHIN 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS OF YOUR PURCHASE.


Seaweed Woman is a postpartum folktale based on the creator's mystical encounter on a beach, 15 months after giving birth to her first child. After going through the many transformations and the trauma of loss, fertility treatment, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Mares wanted to craft a contemporary myth that functioned like a good children's book. Simple, vivid, poetic, with elements of magic and wonder.



This is a great gift for birth workers, postpartum families, parents of all kinds, folks going through big life transformations, and anyone who believes that birth justice is a gateway to a better world for all.
