All mothers play a special role. Dog mothers, cat mothers, chicken mothers, duck mothers – the entire animal kingdom is full of mothers who care for their loved ones. In Serena Lane Ferrari's My Home Is You, human mothers also create a loving bond with their young ones. It makes little ones feel safe and loved, secure in the knowledge that being with their mother means being home. A mother sheep and her lamb is “A tale of love, it’s sweet and bright.” And as the Momma Sheep watches her little one, the mother and child “share a bond, a cozy room.” It seems too simple to be true, but mothers are the safe space that little ones crave until they are mature enough to venture out into the world.
Serena Lane Ferrari's picture book, My Home Is You: A Tale of a Mother’s Unconditional Love, is a sweet, tender story about all kinds of mothers and their offspring. Told in rhyming verse, this cheery little treasure will warm the hearts of youngsters as their mothers share a special time, cuddling them, and reading to them. Like Robert Munsch’s Love You Forever, this story resonates with the timeless and enduring love of a parent for their child. The language is simple so young readers can easily follow along. At the end, there’s a page to color, showing a mother cat with her kitten. Each animal mother and her offspring is introduced with something unique to that animal, like a mother dog and her puppy, “sharing love in every wag.” Readers young and old will love this story.
