5 Reasons Moms Are the Best

Mother's Day is the perfect day to share a book with your mom or with any of the mother figures in your life.  Why are moms so special? Let these five pictures books explain:

1.  Moms love us unconditionally, like the mother in the classic The Runaway Bunny.  When a young rabbit wants to run away, he tells his mother how he will escape and she promises to always be right behind him.

The Runaway Bunny is available in multiple formats.

2.  Moms show their love for us in all kinds of different ways, like feeding us healthy, yummy food or taking us to the park.  See how one mom shows she loves her children in Did I Tell You I Love You Today?

3.  Moms help us through the tough times.  Sometimes we might be scared to try something new, like Chester in The Kissing Hand who is nervous about his first day of school, but knowing we have the love and support of our families helps us be brave!

The Kissing Hand is available in multiple formats.

4.  Moms are patient, just like Llama's mama in Llama Llama Mad at Mama.  Llama is NOT a fan of grocery shopping with mama and begins to throw a tantrum until mama helps him see that they can work together to make it more fun.

5.  Moms are there for us for all of our life milestones until, Someday we are old enough to leave home and be on our own.

Someday is available in multiple formats.

Of course, there are many more reasons moms are great—what makes YOUR mom special?
