Bunmi Laditan

Bunmi Laditan is a USA Today bestselling writer who gained prominence through her social media presence, notably the phenomenon known as The Honest Toddler. Her career as an author began with her debut book, “Confessions of a Domestic Failure,” which quickly achieved bestseller status. This achievement established her as a voice in the parenting and humor genres. She has since expanded her literary contributions with a range of titles that explore themes related to motherhood and personal experiences. Laditan is a regular contributor to various online platforms, including Parenting, Mothering, iVillage, and HuffPost, where she shares insights and humor. Her commentary and published works have led to appearances on national television programs such as “Today,” “Good Morning America,” and “CBS Sunday Morning.”

Laditan’s work reflects a progression from humorous observations on toddler behavior to deeper explorations of parenting challenges and faith. A significant turning point in her career trajectory is marked by her embrace of Christian themes in her writing, following her conversion to belief approximately five years prior. This shift is evident in books like “Help Me, God, I’m a Parent: Honest Prayers for Hectic Days and Endless Nights” and “Dear God: Honest Prayers to a God Who Listens.” These later works encourage parents to rely on faith for guidance in daily life, demonstrating a thematic evolution in her writing that resonates with a broad audience seeking both laughter and spiritual encouragement.

Her upcoming projects include a children’s chapter book series titled “David’s Diary,” to be published by WaterBrook, an imprint of Penguin Books, in 2025. This series aims to inspire children, particularly those on the autism spectrum or with other developmental considerations, by reimagining the biblical King David as a neurodivergent fourth grader in a contemporary setting. This project underscores her commitment to creating stories that are both engaging and inclusive. Laditan also hosts “The God of Miracles Podcast,” further extending her engagement with topics of faith and personal growth through an audio medium.
