An Evening with Laurie Gelman, Author of "Yoga Pant Nation"

On Wednesday, July 14 at 6 p.m., the Friends of the Ferguson Library will host a virtual author
event on Zoom featuring Laurie Gelman, author of Yoga Pant Nation, the latest in the Class Mom series of books. Yoga Pant Nation is about one mom's challenges through parenting and life, keeping her on her toes and perpetually in yoga pants.

Jen Dixon of Overland Park, Kansas—fearless mother of a fifth-grade boy and two thirty-something daughters—is used to juggling a lot, from her mission to become a spin instructor, to stepping in as the most acerbic class mom ever (again), to taking care of her two-year-old
granddaughter. But when the PTA president throws her a mandate to raise $10,000 for the fifth-grade class, even unflappable Jen is going to need more than her regular spin class to get her through this final year at William Taft Elementary School.

With her always irreverent and laugh-out-loud humor—boldly holding forth on those things you’re thinking, but would never dare say out loud—Laurie Gelman shines a light on the indignities and hilarities of modern parenting.
