Blurb from Radiator Comics:

Rosaura Rodríguez explores her feelings of motherhood in Materia Materna. Through abstract watercolors, and single statements on each page, Rosaura crafts a poem that follows her through pregnancy, childbirth, caring for an infant, and raising a child. Her emotions are complicated, expressing the joys and fears of being a parent.

Written in both Spanish and English, Rosaura switches between the two languages as her beautiful each stand on their own. A wonderful book for those with or without children, exploring ideas of ineffable love, human frailty, and personal determination.
