Parenting, but make it beige. Dress Your Baby in Sage and Taupe is a hilariously clever illustrated guide to the perfectly curated, wonderfully neutral world of modern parenting—from taupe muslin blankets and oatmeal-colored wooden toys to impossibly chic nurseries and carefully chosen baby names.

Written by humorist Hayley DeRoche, creator of the viral “Sad Beige Mom” phenomenon, this tongue-in-cheek collection lovingly pokes fun at the trends, products, and picture-perfect aesthetics that have taken over modern parenthood. Through essays, quizzes, advice columns, poems, and plenty of laugh-out-loud observations, DeRoche explores everything from artisanal baby foods and limited-edition carriers to neutral birthday parties and nurseries designed in every shade of beige imaginable.

Beneath all the satire is a surprisingly sweet reminder: parenting doesn’t have to look perfect to be wonderful. With custom illustrations by Julia Emiliani and plenty of knowing humor, it’s an entertaining read for new parents, seasoned parents, and anyone who has ever found themselves wondering whether sage technically counts as a color.
