Mommy's too tired to be Mommy tonight. Can you be Mommy and hold me tight? In this clever, rhyming picture book, a mother tells her child that she's simply too tired to be Mommy tonight. She came home from a busy retail shift, ensured that everyone was fed and homework was done, and now she's just exhausted! So she asks her daughter to take over for her.
Fortunately, this little girl has a great model for what a good Mommy does: she tenderly pats her mother's head, tucks her in under her favorite blanket, and gives her a goodnight kiss. And when the little girl starts to get tired herself, Mommy smiles and goes back to doing what a Mommy does: making sure her children are cared for and loved. An utterly relatable theme told with humor and heart provides a story parents and children will delight in reading together at bedtime.
"Vibrant digital illustrations by Persico portray a comfortable home for the duo’s gentle game. Though Mommy’s plight is easy to emphathize with, there’s no hint of resentment: this mama may be exhausted, but she loves her kid all the same." — Publishers Weekly
