Happy Mamas is a lyrical read aloud book for young children that pays tribute to the universal joys of mothering in the animal and human kingdoms. Charming illustrations depict all the activities that bring joy to a mother and her baby over the course of a day: feeding her cubs bundles of bamboo shoots; teaching her calf how to trumpet a loud jungle cheer; playing peek-a-boo; watching her chicks fly from the nest; singing a serenade to the man in the moon; or crooning owly lullabies through the deep, dark woods. But as the moon glows and the stars shine, what is it that makes all mothers from desert to jungle, from forest to field, from land to sea happiest by far? Mothers and babies everywhere will delight in this happy romp - a perfect ode to motherhood.
