Bookroo's summary

Molly is eager for a fun day at the park, but her excitement turns to frustration when her moms get caught in a never-ending conversation with the neighbors. As time drags on, Molly wonders if they'll ever stop talking. Will she ever make it to the park, or will her patience run out first? This humorous tale captures a child's universal struggle with waiting and the agony of adult small talk.

From the publisher

A child’s plans are ruined when her parents have the gall to stop to talk to the neighbors in My Parents Won’t Stop Talking!, a laugh-out-loud picture book about patience by Emma Hunsinger and Tillie Walden. It’s time to go to the park, and Molly can’t wait! It’s going to be awesome and amazing and– OH NO! The neighbors have spotted her moms, and now they’re talking. A lot. And everything they say is boring. Minutes feel like hours, hours feel like days, and days feel like eons . . . Will her parents ever stop talking?! This is a clever, irreverent take on a universal childhood dilemma, written and illustrated by two stars in the comics world.
