This is my last book review of this little series and I think I actually saved the best for last. This book hasn’t even been active on Amazon for one month so you are probably the very first to hear about it… you could even be the one to make it go viral. Who knows?
My friend from Modern Mommy Madness posted on Facebook the other day about all that she had accomplished in one day, and basically wanted to make sure it would not be overlooked that moms are, in fact, warriors. Please take a moment to let that sink in. That is where “Mom University” by Rebecca Ventre rises to the occasion. This book shows kids (in a unique and creative way) what types of “rigorous training” moms have to go through to graduate with a mom degree.
I love how creative the thought process, storyline, and illustrations are in this book. Rebecca always has a way of connecting kids AND moms to the story. It always impresses me when an adult and a kid can both be entertained by the same thing…. like Disney movies… it’s just better that way.
My Teaching Moments: When reading this book I like to talk to my kids about what it was like waiting for them to be born, and how excited I was to hold them, and meet them, and learn all the things that make them happy and even sad. I also write these things down in a separate journal for each of my kids. My mom has Alzheimer’s so I can’t ask her about these things and I like for the moments to be ingrained in my children’s minds. I want them to know that every moment with them is worth any of the challenges that come our way.
Please get this book and start to remind your kids that they were anticipated, they are loved and valued, and that no accomplishment has ever made you more proud than to be their mom!
