Toddler-PreS–A mom is held up to superhero standards in this cute but lofty story about how many tasks moms juggle, while never failing to make a kid feel safe and loved. “She’s always super busy doing one million things at once—but when I need her, without a doubt she stops everything at once.” Comic book–style panels depict moms of diverse shapes and skin colors dressed in superhero outfits while making dinner, cleaning, changing tires, and getting their kids to the school bus. Rhyming text makes this a fun read aloud and a sweet homage to moms everywhere.
VERDICT A great addition to board book collections. Recommended for purchase.
