Modern design and book styling make "What Are Mommies Made Of?" the perfect gift for new moms, baby showers and Mother's Day. Author Christa Fletcher and illustrator Jennifer Bouron portray colorful, body positive depictions of moms in different shapes, sizes, and backgrounds in order to capture the essence of contemporary motherhood. By demonstrating all of the wonderful things moms can do, this picture book empowers women and kids through playful rhyming that bridges the lives of single moms, working moms, stay-at-home moms, and every other type of mom in between.
Fletcher and Bouron create an intimate portrait of the family bond in bold patterns, stylish color choices, and contemporary scenes that pair well with the lyrical text of the book. Each page shows how women's strengths, intellect, and skills enrich the lives of their children and communities in the day to day -- from feeding and bathing little ones, to sharing her interests in math, sports, science, technology, arts and music.
