![]() Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs?“Robyn Harding didn’t know what she was getting into when she launched her family on a go-green project. …What ensued is revealed in this hilarious and candid book. …Harding’s personal angst is certainly the focus of this book, but somehow her wit and honesty shine brighter than her groans, making this a highly entertaining and delightfully engrossing read.” Waterloo Region Record, Apr 25, 2009 Read more about Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs? >> |

![]() Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs?“The title of this book may not be a familiar refrain in your house, but the struggles it chronicles will be. A humour-filled, stream-of-consciousness account of Harding’s efforts to become ‘a deep-dark-green goddess,’ it both delights and occasionally grates. The latter is where the book’s real value lies. As Harding confronts her own values, habits and ideas, we’re forced to look uncomfortably at our own.” Green Living Magazine, Apr 21, 2009 Read more about Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs? >> |

![]() Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs?“…an informative, spirited account of an increasingly dispiriting subject: going green. …Despite her lapses and concessions to comfort, Harding is to be commended for her efforts. Researching each issue, she considers all the ambiguities and the truths before judiciously and responsibly setting on her own compromises. Few of us can do more. And for those of us who have also fallen short of the ideal, this book is both reassuring and empowering.” Globe and Mail, Apr 2, 2009 Read more about Mom, Will This Chicken Give Me Man Boobs? >> |
