Mama — Kelly Jones

With a baby brother who talks all of the time but can only say one word, "Mama," it is up to his big sister to teach everyone else exactly what her brother is saying. "Mama" can mean he is happy. "Mama" can mean he's sad. His big sister discovers that he even calls out "Mama" when he wants his dad. Cleverly told in the voice of an insightful big sister, this book captures the bond between a little girl and her baby brother with an exquisite blend of funny rhymes and striking collages. Nurturing the bond between siblings, the bold, colorful artwork conveys important lessons about mutual respect and the importance of each child's role within the family.
