Why read it?
1 author picked Mama Always Comes Home as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a new mom, returning to the workforce after the birth of my daughter, this lovely book became a staple in our repertoire. It sweetly conveys how mamas get called away to other duties, but always come back home to their little ones. It helped me tell my daughter, in a way she could understand, that mamas of all kinds have commitments outside of mothering but those duties do not diminish the love for their little ones at home.
From Elizabeth's list on children's stories that convey profound love.
