The story focuses on a teddy bear-clutching little girl whose mother is about to go in for a nose job and a tummy tuck. In the book, the mother tells her child: “You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to fix that and make me feel better.”
Could this be the inception of an untapped genre of literature? Since it was mocked on the Today show this morning, probably! Perhaps soon we’ll be seeing a boom in children’s books designed to help wealthy kids cope with the pressures of privilege. Other suggested reading could include Heather Has Three Nannies, Daddy Has Two Indictments for Stock Fraud, or its sequel, Daddy Has to Go Away Now But He’ll Be Back in 8 to 12 Years.
