Mommies Are Amazing

It’s all about moms—feline ones—in this playful companion to the dog-centric Daddies Are Awesome. Lovsin’s handsome illustrations capture the distinctive mannerisms of more than a dozen cat families. “Mommies are clever./ They know when you’re sad./ They’ll hug you and kiss you/ when you’re feeling bad,” writes Costain in a pair of scenes; in one, a Maine coon cat envelops its child, and a calico mother licks her kitten in the other. Animal-loving children will revel in the careful detail Lovsin brings to her feline portraits, while mothers will appreciate the underlying moms-can-do-it-all message. Ages 4–8. (Apr.)
