Babies everywhere need this how-to guide in order to know just how to love and care for their new mom!

This fun tongue-in-cheek picture book is perfect for 2 to 5 year olds who want to take care of mom, and new moms who need a laugh.

New moms are a lot of work. When do they eat? Sleep? Play? Having a mom is a major responsibility, but little babies have been preparing for this since they were the size of an avocado. If anyone can take good care of a mom, it’s a baby! With playful humor and wildly relatable motherhood moments, this how-to picture book flips the script.

Beneath the playful tone and humorous moments, It’s a Mom gently illuminates the deeper truth that while motherhood is filled with love and joy, it’s also layered with exhaustion, self-doubt, and sacrifice. By facing these challenges through the innocent eyes of a baby, the book offers empathy and affirmation, reminding moms that they are seen, valued, and doing an extraordinary job—even on the hardest days.
