Children need to know that they are loved each and every day. They need to learn that love, true love, is unconditional. Mom and dad will love them no matter what.
Mama, Do You Love Me by Barbara M. Joosse helps to reinforce the idea of unconditional love.
Mama, Do You Love Me shows us a little girl who is testing her mother’s love. Will her mother love her no matter what, even if she does something she shouldn’t? Will her mother love her if she runs away and lives with a pack of wolves? What is the little girl turned into a scary animal? Will her mother still love her?
Yes, the mother will continue to love her little girl even when the mother is upset, angry, sad, or scared. A mother loves her child no matter what.
Mama, Do You Love Me is a terrific book for bedtime or after a difficult parenting day. It reminds children that they are loved, no matter what, and that their mother’s love doesn’t just go away.
