PS
A first-person toddler narrator relates life with “Mama Bear” in ursine-tinged and spirited rhyming verse: “Mama Bear is growly roary / with her fangs and claws. / She’s also smart and caring with / her strong and gentle paws!” The text and brightly hued art honestly portray the highs and lows of parent-child relationships. And with no other parent in sight, children from single-parent families will see themselves reflected.
