I Really Like Mom
Abrams Books, translated by Paige Morris
With a sweet, universal message and charming illustrations full of irresistibly cute animals, this is a loving tribute to moms everywhere
When I stretch myself awake in the mornings
or drift off to sleep on dark nights,
she’s always by my side.
From playtime to storytime, from tight hugs to mwah mwah mwah kisses, I Really Like Mom celebrates the many reasons why mothers are amazing from a child’s perspective. Whether it’s courage, cuddles, or a hand to lift you up when you fall, mom is always there for you!
