Review:

These kids, a brother and sister, want to make sure they are raising a happy and healthy mom. They let her sleep in and they’ve prepared a healthy breakfast which includes popcorn. They dress her up, and pile stuff at the door so she doesn’t forget anything. They play at the park and tidy up the house. To relax, they do yoga and lie in the grass to look for wiggly worms. If they can’t go outside, they can be very creative playing inside. When it’s finally time for bed, a stack of books is by her side just in case one story isn’t enough.

This delightful story is colorfully illustrated and has a host of just right tips for young readers. Easy to navigate sentence structure makes this book perfect for beginner readers. Parents and caregivers can use this as a tool to teach kids care giving and thoughtfulness and interact with them in lively conversation.
