Description

A tender BOARD BOOK about a child’s curiosity and a mother’s love, with springtime illustrations by Olga Skomorokova

Why are you so strong, Mommy?
Why? So I can scoop you up into the biggest, best bear hugs.
Why do you brush your teeth, Mommy?
Why? So I can smile bright whenever you need it.


It’s every kid’s favorite word, but what if instead of growing impatient, Mommy Bear uses each new question to show her love for her inquisitive cub. From Tamara Girardi, author of Why, Daddy? Why?, comes a new list of “whys” and new ways to say “Because I love you.”

LOVED the art in this one! It felt very sweet and cozy. I genuinely think this could be a good Learning Resource for younger kids who are asking all of the "Why" questions. It gives parents something tangible to point to and say, "Remember?" I think this had a perfect amount of words per page for a board book.

An adorable little book to answer some of the constant toddler questions. I especially loved the questions "why do you have a phone mommy?, "why do you take pictures of me mommy?", and "why do you read books mommy?", in addition to the more emotional questions. This book celebrates the bond between mommy and child, and some of what a mom does for her child. And to top it off, the illustrations are absolutely adorable!

To start my review, I'll send a thanks to the author, Tamara Girardi, and the illustrator, Olga Skomorokova, the publisher, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this digital copy of the board book, Why, Mommy? Why? I'll share my review to Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon upon release.

This cute book focuses on the kinds of questions asked by children and the ways we can react to give children an empathetic and imaginative view of the world. Curiosity is a strength to be encouraged, and this book does just that! The mother bear in this book is very patient and understanding of all the questions asked by her little cub, and the illustrations that accompany the questions are absolutely lovely. The animals were all so, so cute and will draw the attention and adoration of children, for sure. I adored the page with the bubbles of possibility for the future adventures of the cub. Those were super adorable and detailed! I'd recommend for children aged 3 and under. I thoroughly enjoyed this cute little kid's picture book!

É uma leitura sensível que aborda questões emocionais e psicológicas de uma forma acessível para crianças e adultos. O livro explora a curiosidade natural das crianças, com o personagem central fazendo perguntas profundas e complexas à mãe. Através dessas questões, o livro promove o diálogo sobre temas de identidade, emoções e valores, incentivando pais e filhos a terem conversas abertas e honestas. É uma leitura recomendada para famílias que buscam fortalecer o vínculo afetivo e compreender melhor o universo emocional infantil.

This is such a cute story that is perfect for young children. They love to ask “why” and this has such sweet explanations for a young child.
The art is fantastic and would keep a child looking for something new each time the book is read.
I will recommend this book to new parents.

This is precious. The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed. My 2 year old daughter was spell bound and asked me to read it again after we read it. The story is sweet and I loved how it comes full circle in the end tying all the parts together. It was short and the perfect length for when your toddler wants to read it again and again. I can see it being one they would eventually memorize and read parts along with you. I would buy this for my children and as gifts for friends.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced digital copy.

Thank you to the publisher, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this digital copy of the board book, Why, Mommy? Why?

This book is gorgeously illustrated with each picture adding so much to the story. This book seeks to answer common toddler questions with in-depth and emotional answers. Would make a great gift for a baby shower!

This is just so precious!! The illustrations are so detailed and colorful and I can imagine it would be such a great interactive book to read with kids. I absolutely adore the tender theme of the story and how much it emphasizes the love between a mother and their child. As I was reading this book, I also couldn't stop thinking about how this is a great way to work on WH- questions and inferencing by having a child think about the reasoning behind actions of love. As I mentioned earlier, there's also a lot of cute pictures on each page which can serve as a way to play "I Spy" with your child. Truly one of the cutest children's books I've ever read and highlights the huge heart mothers have! I think every mother needs this book!
