Toddler-PreS–The newest title in the “My Mom Loves” series celebrates the joy of music. Told from the perspective of a child, the story features a Black mother and daughter whose days revolve around the mother’s deep passion for music. One memorable spread shows both of their hands on piano keys alongside the text, “A life without music is truly impossible, according to Mom.” The warm illustrations and tender narration capture the bond between parent and child beautifully.

VERDICT An additional purchase for libraries seeking books that highlight mothers.
