Mama Seeton’s Whistle by Jerry Spinelli
So one of our co-workers said that I needed to put this at the top of my list, and I was happy to oblige.

Mama, Do You Love Me? by Barbara M. Joosse
This was one of my favorite books growing up, and my parents still have it on their shelf at home and they now read it to my niece. I remember being fixated on the illustrations because the style was so different from the stories that I was used to. In the story a young girl tries to find the limits of her mother’s love and is always met with the answer, “still I would love you.”My New Mom and Me by Renata Galindo
Moms come in many different shapes and sizes, and sometime they may look a little different than their kids. In this story a little dog is adopted by a loving cat. The dog is nervous because he doesn’t look like his new mom and even tries painting himself to fit in. But his new mom loves him just the way he is.

This one is a classic and I’m sure that plenty of you are already familiar with it. For those of you who aren’t, The Runaway Bunny is about a young bunny who decides to run away. He questions his mother as to what lengths she would go to in order to find him. But a mother’s love knows no bounds.

Moms start to bond with their little ones before the baby is even born. In this story a mom explains to her daughter how her laughter, love of music, and kind nature can all be traced back to the time she was in her mom’s tummy.
