Summary: Your Mama is a wonderful take on Yo Mama jokes. One example of the twist on the Yo Mama jokes is "Your mama so sweet she could be a bakery." In this book the mama and daughter have a close, fun, interesting and important relationship. The illustrations by Jacqueline Alcantara depict that loving mother-daughter relationship beautifully. Even though "Sometimes your Mama's cray cray" if you "Got math problems? She could solve 'em." "Woman catches all your vibes; must read minds." The text is funny and strong and poignant. The daughter in the book absolutely adores her mama and the mama absolutely adores her daughter. The mutual love and respect comes shining through. This is a glorious story of mothers and daughters.
Straight Talk for Librarians: A great book about motherhood.
