Hello, Baby!: I’m Your Mom

This sweet story of moms taking care of their babies starts from tiny little human babies and expands to all manner of creatures from cats to birds to rhinos and more. No matter what the species, all the moms take care of their babies in their own special way.

Eve Bunting is a wonderful and loving creator of children’s books. Her books are sometimes fanciful and sometimes they teach about difficult subjects. They don’t all have happy endings, but they all have hopeful endings, which is much more instructive for young children. In this book, the illustrations are executed by Jui Ishida, who brings lovely colors and warm mom/baby interactions to life from a circle of protective mother elephants to the porcupine’s maternal hug.

All the moms in this book have caring messages of protection and love for their little ones. At the end of the book are pictures of ten different animals with facts about them. The author is an Irish-born Californian who has written over two hundred and fifty books for children in order to make them think. This is the latest delightful addition to her catalogue.
