Everything Is Mama

Reach for this book when your toddler has reached the repetitive stage of language development and everything in their world, from a ball to a banana, is affectionately called Mama. It is a perfect choice for those long afternoons when you need a lighthearted way to gently nudge your child toward new vocabulary while leaning into the humor of their one-track mind. The story features various animal parents patiently trying to teach their little ones the actual names for everyday objects, only to be met with a stubborn and sweet refrain of Mama. This board book celebrates the unique and intense bond between a mother and child during the earliest years of life. It is developmentally perfect for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3, using high-contrast illustrations and rhythmic repetition to keep young minds engaged. Parents will find a relatable reflection of their own daily patience, while children will enjoy the silly animals and the comfort of a familiar word. It is a joyful, low-pressure tool for language acquisition that validates the child's perspective while expanding their horizon.
