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!

“I loved this workshop, it was a great introduction to library vocab in ASL!”
“I liked the focus on grammar, like topic-comment and indexing, because this is stuff that would be harder to study on my own.”
