MOTHER STANDS FOR COMFORT

THE RUNAWAY BUNNY, Margaret Wise Brown & Clement Hurd (THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT MARGARET WISE BROWN gets this classic all wrong!)

On books that explore parents (writ broadly) in children’s sense of confidence, freedom, and self-love.

(With a nod to Kate Bush, and a kinda funny story about how this page got its name…)

THE OLD TRUCK, Jarrett & Jerome Pumphrey
BOB, NOT BOB! Liz Garton Scanlon, Audrey Vernick, Matthew Cordell
THE NIGHT GARDENER, The Fan Brothers
THE DESERT IS MY MOTHER/EL DESIERTO ES MI MADRE, Pat Mora & Daniel Lechon
