適讀人群 :3-6歲 Just in time for Mother's Day and Father's Day, a pair of books by Todd Parr celebrates different kinds of parents. "Some mommies work at home/ Some mommies work in big buildings," states The Mommy Book, accompanied by Parr's signature combination of simple text and neon-bright contrasting colors with bold black line. Similarly, The Daddy Book highlights the differences between dads.
In the spirit of the classic Free to Be You and Me song, "Parents are People," these companion titles celebrate the diversity of mommies and daddies. Using his signature neon palette and clean-lined, childlike art, Parr shows how mommies and daddies can drive different vehicles ("Some mommies drive minivans. Some mommies drive motorcycles"); work in different places ("Some daddies work at home. Some daddies work far away"); teach different things ("Some mommies teach you how to paint. Some mommies teach you how to play sports"), and so on. Parr's blazing colors show blue, green, and orange faces that seem multicultural. And children from single-parent homes will like that each book shows only one parent--loving, fun, and holding it all together. Bright, comforting, and written with appealing rhythm, these are good choices for lap-sharing or initiating conversations about families.
內容簡介
The Mommy Book celebrates all different kinds of moms and highlights the many reasons they are so special. Whether your mom goes fishing or goes shopping, whether she works at home or in a big building, whether she has short hair or big hair, Todd Parr assures readers that no matter what kind of mommy you have, every mother is special in her own unique way.
With his trademark bold, bright colors and silly scenes, Todd Parr explains that while no two mothers are alike, "all mommies want you to be who you are!" Perfect for young children just beginning to read, The Mommy Book is designed to encourage early literacy, enhance emotional development, celebrate multiculturalism, promote character growth, and strengthen family relationships.
