The love between mother and child is a deep, profound bond, and that is true whether the pair walks on two legs, flies through the air, or swims in the ocean: a mother knows how precious her child is. Through gentle, rhyming text, human and animal mothers tell their little ones why they love them, sharing what is beautiful and unique about their children. From wrinkly skin to sharp claws to prickly quills, mothers love their babies just as they are.
Award-winning author Eve Bunting pens a tender tribute to maternal love in this lyrical picture book. Text provides a hint of each animal's physical characteristics, as sweet illustrations bring these mother and child relationships to life, while back matter includes photos and factoids about each featured animal. This tender story, with its adorable mother-child pairings, is the perfect book to read snuggled up on Mom's lap.
