Description
Why are you so strong, Mommy?
Why? So I can scoop you up into the biggest, best bear hugs.
Why do you brush your teeth, Mommy?
Why? So I can smile bright whenever you need it.
It’s every kid’s favorite word, but what if instead of growing impatient, Mommy Bear uses each new question to show her love for her inquisitive cub. From Tamara Girardi, author of Why, Daddy? Why?, comes a new list of “whys” and new ways to say “Because I love you.”

LOVED the art in this one! It felt very sweet and cozy. I genuinely think this could be a good Learning Resource for younger kids who are asking all of the "Why" questions. It gives parents something tangible to point to and say, "Remember?" I think this had a perfect amount of words per page for a board book.
An adorable little book to answer some of the constant toddler questions. I especially loved the questions "why do you have a phone mommy?, "why do you take pictures of me mommy?", and "why do you read books mommy?", in addition to the more emotional questions. This book celebrates the bond between mommy and child, and some of what a mom does for her child. And to top it off, the illustrations are absolutely adorable!
To start my review, I'll send a thanks to the author, Tamara Girardi, and the illustrator, Olga Skomorokova, the publisher, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this digital copy of the board book, Why, Mommy? Why? I'll share my review to Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon upon release.
This cute book focuses on the kinds of questions asked by children and the ways we can react to give children an empathetic and imaginative view of the world. Curiosity is a strength to be encouraged, and this book does just that! The mother bear in this book is very patient and understanding of all the questions asked by her little cub, and the illustrations that accompany the questions are absolutely lovely. The animals were all so, so cute and will draw the attention and adoration of children, for sure. I adored the page with the bubbles of possibility for the future adventures of the cub. Those were super adorable and detailed! I'd recommend for children aged 3 and under. I thoroughly enjoyed this cute little kid's picture book!
É uma leitura sensível que aborda questões emocionais e psicológicas de uma forma acessível para crianças e adultos. O livro explora a curiosidade natural das crianças, com o personagem central fazendo perguntas profundas e complexas à mãe. Através dessas questões, o livro promove o diálogo sobre temas de identidade, emoções e valores, incentivando pais e filhos a terem conversas abertas e honestas. É uma leitura recomendada para famílias que buscam fortalecer o vínculo afetivo e compreender melhor o universo emocional infantil.
This is such a cute story that is perfect for young children. They love to ask “why” and this has such sweet explanations for a young child.
The art is fantastic and would keep a child looking for something new each time the book is read.
I will recommend this book to new parents.
