The Mommy Book

Todd Parr's "The Mommy Book" is a cheerful and inclusive celebration of mothers in all their forms. With his signature bold lines and bright colors, Parr presents a diverse array of moms, highlighting their unique qualities and the universal love they share with their children. This book gently normalizes the idea that families and mothers come in many different shapes and sizes, whether they drive a minivan or a motorcycle, or work at home or in a big building. It's a perfect read-aloud for young children, offering comfort and a sense of belonging as they recognize aspects of their own mothers or learn to appreciate the diversity of others. Parents will find it a sweet, affirming book to share, especially at bedtime, to reinforce the special bond between mother and child.
