Stay Close to Mama, Review and Giveaway

April 30, 2012 by Dawn

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I’ve always loved the idea of giving new parents picture books that tenderly address the relationship between parents and children as gifts. The touching emotions are perfectly appropriate, and you help to build up their personal libraries for reading with their kids in years to come. Win, win!

A new picture book by Toni Buzzeo, Stay Close to Mama, fits the bill for Mother’s Day this year. This giraffe mama is keeping a loving eye on her young child as he curiously explores the savanna around him.

Read my entire review of Stay Close to Mama and enter to win a copy for yourself or a mama in your life over at 5 Minutes for Mom.
