Customer Reviews

Wonderful, Colorful Book...

Todd Parr books are so colorful and have great messages attached to them. This book does not disappoint. The pictures are simple and vibrant which really caught my daughter's attention. The message attached is great because it shows diversity among mothers. I recommend all of his books.

Bright cheerful simple drawings and messages

My two young children are drawn to the cheerful childlike drawings in neon colors outlined in black. The book shows various stick figure mommies doing different things. Their faces, clothing and hair have a rainbow of colors. It celebrates the diversity of mothers in a gentle way. I particularly liked the page of "Some mommies work at home." with the mommy holding a mop and broom. It ends with "All mommies want you to be who you are!" That's certainly true for this mommy and the parents who'll like this book.

This is a great book!

My son who is 16 mos old, loves this book. He loves the bright colors and simple drawings and they easily keep his attention. We also have The Daddy Book, The Okay Book and Otto Goes to the Beach and these are the books he always brings to me and my husband for us to read to him.

Makes kids feel good!

I have several of Todd Parr's books. My 2 year old and 5 year old both love them. My 2 year old loves the funny pictures and fast pace. My 5 year old just feels great after we read them. They are full of silly lessons that make kids feel important.
