Perfect for you if...

  • You've got bad news to deliver but zero spine, and a cute duckling feels like your best ally.
  • You appreciate absurdist humour that doesn't take relationships or honesty seriously.
  • You want a novelty gift for someone who finds dark comedy and passive-aggressive communication hilarious.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You believe in direct, honest communication and value genuine conversations with the people you care about.
  • You're looking for actual advice on how to have difficult conversations maturely.
  • You get uncomfortable with jokes about infidelity, dismissing your partner's appearance, or parental abandonment.

About this book

A collection of perforated postcards featuring photographs of baby animals, designed to deliver difficult messages on behalf of the sender. The postcards allow the user to communicate bad news—such as relationship problems, broken promises, or family departures—without having a direct conversation. Each postcard pairs an image of a cute baby animal with a difficult message, intended to soften the impact of the news being delivered. Examples include a bunny for telling someone an uncomfortable truth, and a duckling sleeping on a teddy bear for delivering particularly sensitive information. The postcards are meant to help senders avoid face-to-face confrontation while still communicating what needs to be said.
