As a curious little girl awaits the arrival of her baby sister, she asks
Mama many questions: "Will she have freckles?" "Will I have to share my
blanket?" She helps Mama and Dad prepare to meet her little sister,
singing her songs and knitting her a new blanket. But the most important
part of getting ready is taking care of Mama. When Mama can't see her
toes, she counts to make sure there's still ten. When Mama's tired, she
draws her a picture and gives her hugs. An honest and gentle exploration
of the excitement and anxiety kids feel when welcoming a new family
member, Mama's Belly is ultimately a celebration of motherly (and
daughterly) love and a soothing story for older siblings that even with
the spotlight on a new baby, there is always enough love for everyone.
