You Be Mommy by Karla Clark, illustrated by Zoe Persico

Age Range: 2–6 years

Mother’s Day was May 12^th and our families are receiving the perfect read at our clinics this month. You Be Mommy is a beautifully illustrated and imaginative story about parent/child role reversal. Parenting small children is often equal parts exhilarating and exhausting, and many parents will feel seen with the opening line of this book: “Mommy’s too tired to be Mommy tonight. Can you be Mommy and hold me tight?” Throughout the story the reader is treated to lyrical rhyming text and rich, colorful illustrations of the family’s day and evening routines. It’s a sweet reminder of all the little things we do for the little people we love.

Watch this wonderful reading by Lisa the Librarian with your tiny tot today. And, as always, happy reading!
