Perfect for Mother's Day.</b> <p/>Yo' mama so sweet, she could be a bakery. She dresses so fine, she could have a clothing line. And, even when you mess up, she's so forgiving, she lets you keep on living. Heartwarming and richly imagined, <i>Your Mama </i>twists an old joke into a point of pride that honors the love, hard work, and dedication of mamas everywhere. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> ★ "A lyrical, spirited picture book that takes the old 'yo' mama' joke and cracks, snaps, and pops it into an ode to motherhood. Using a vibrant tattoo motif, colorful, joy-infused artwork, and playful, melodic words, Ramos and Alcántara's winning picture book celebrates motherhood at its most inspirational.... Ramos conjures jubilant scene after scene with deft language and sprinkles of Spanish, and this tale's more sublime moments ('Your Mama a Brainiac--mo' betta than any app') simply shine. Similarly, Alcántara's art represents motherhood as a model of ideals and mind spun for modern times, both indebted to and limited by the specific type of mother of color depicted here. Overall, it's a celebration that's invaluable and needed."<b> </b><b><i>-Kirkus, </i>STARRED review</b> <p/> ★ "This snappy tribute celebrates the fierce awesomeness of sweet, strong, funny, woke, brainiac mamas.
