| In this companion title to My Daddy Is a Giant (2005), a little girl praises her mom's seemingly supernatural greatness. On each double-page spread, the girl lists a new way that her mother is amazing: Mommy can chase monsters from the closet, guess secrets before they are told, swim faster than a dolphin, and make hurts disappear. The brief, simple words pair nicely with uncluttered, bold-lined illustrations that amplify the tenderness between the child and her mother, who is portrayed as a large, strong, capable, and loving presence. Best of all is the girl's realization that she has talents of her own: "When I sing and dance, I always make my mommy laugh." As in the team's previous title, this warm picture book encourages kids to notice and feel the small family moments that add up to love. Gillian Engberg. |
