Janaína Bought the Last Book.

She bought the last copy of Parenting Unpacked on Amazon Germany. The listing showed one copy left in the warehouse. She got it. More are on the way.

Janaína is an intercultural psychologist based in Germany. She is one of the voices behind the neuropsychology post, the one where she explained that the brain is a prediction engine that loses its map when you move countries. She has been part of this world since before the book launched. And yesterday she cleared out the German warehouse.

Janaina de Carvalho text message to Jessica Gabrielzyk about buying her last book in Germany

I have been watching Germany show up for this book since launch. Biggest market, same as Maternity Abroad, same as My First American Coloring Book. Three books, three times, without a single campaign targeting the German market. Germany just keeps arriving, like a very reliable friend who never needs to be asked twice.

And now Janaína, who lives in Germany, who contributed to the intellectual framework the book is built on, who explained the brain science behind the loss of felt competence to thousands of readers, bought the last copy in the warehouse.

I do not have a word for what that feels like. But I am working on finding one.

The restock is on its way. Parenting Unpacked is available on Amazon worldwide in paperback and Kindle. 💛

I absolutely love this picture a reader from Germany sent me. You might see me using everywhere. Couldn’t do a better job myself 🫣.

Feeling so much love from Germany 🇩🇪💛.
