Description
Paula loves to cook, but also to eat, that's why her children and granddaughters call her Mommy Crumbs... she always seems to be covered with them! One day, Mommy Crumbs’ granddaughters give her a very special baby chick and the two become inseparable. The chick grows bigger as Mommy Crumbs gets older. When the chick is larger than the old woman herself, Mommy Crumbs bids farewell to her family and flies away on the magical bird.

Mommy Crumbs follows a girl as she becomes a woman, and the important things in her life along the way. The plot is mostly lighthearted, but it does address death in an abstract way, so be prepared for that before sitting down to read with your kiddo. I loved the illustrations, especially the animals who wore glasses like Mommy Crumbs!
Thanks to Publisher Spotlight - NubeOcho and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

Truly beautiful story. I can't stress enough how important it is for little ones to have books such as this one. Books that touch on death and loss in an easy-to-understand way that isn't a total downer. This book recognizes that losing a loved one will still hurt, but there is still the memories that you keep. Prior to the loss part, though, was a story about a life. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that the plot was clear and defined. Everything was cohesive, yet still artful. The artful aspect was partially due to the beautiful, fun, and amazing illustrations. They were simple, but still gave life to entire pages with vibrant colors and crisp lines.
Bravo!
