“Another winner by Kathy MacMillan! This second book in the “Sign the Season” series is every bit as adorable as the first one. The book works both as a quick story read and as a fun way to learn sign language with your child. It has a definite read it over and over again quality, which is so important in board books. And by the time you do read through it with those “Read it again!” moments on the couch with your little one, you’ll know lots of basic signs to get you through the winter. The illustrations are bright and colorful with accurate depictions of the signs, and they’re a perfect complement to the story.” – Veronica Bartles, author of The Princess and the Frogs

Read This!: MAMA’S HOME (AND BABY TOO!) by Dawn Babb Prochovnic

Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!): A Board Book for Expecting Families

Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!): A Board Book for Expecting Families by Dawn Babb Prochovnic

Summary: What’s a child to do when they’re missing mama? Get the house ready and eagerly wait for her to come home, of course. But when she finally appears, she comes with a surprise. A new sibling! There are plenty of reasons to miss mom, but missing her while she’s bringing a new life into this world is a unique and special experience.

While there are lots of picture books and board books out there about new siblings, this one is unique in its focus on the experience of the older siblings missing Mama while she is off giving birth. And sure, it’s exciting that there is a new baby in the house, but the thing the kids have really been waiting for is the return of their beloved mother. With bouncy rhyme and joyful, colorful illustrations by Adèle Dafflon, this playful board book is a celebration of family togetherness. A perfect gift for soon-to-be siblings.


This book is out now!
