Is Mommy?

A toddler considers many sides of Mommy, asking whether she is fun or dull, kind or mean. Mommy works hard and is not always organized or neat, so the questions push against an idealized picture of her. Playful responses follow these contrasts as the book asks whether a toddler’s love for Mommy remains. Colorful tempera illustrations accompany the family-focused story. The questions move through contrasting descriptions of a mother here.
