Illustrated by Nadia Ronquillo and written by Natalie Cid, "Mommy Has to Poop!" is a children's book inspired by a genuine moment, a memorable day at the park, disrupted by an unexpected restroom emergency for Mommy. The author shares the unique challenge of battling the urge to use the bathroom while coaxing her reluctant toddler to leave the playground in a hurry. You can probably imagine the ensuing tantrum!

Following this park incident, the author strongly believed that many other moms and dads must have encountered similarly amusing yet awkward situations. They envisioned this book as a delightful source of humor and, perhaps, as a subtle lesson for children, promoting understanding when Mommy has to poop.
