Mama

Summary: A compelling and distinctive visual treasure
Review: Deftly written by Kelly Jones, Mama is an engaging picture book about a big sister, and her little brother who says the word "Mama" a lot yet uses it to mean so many different things. The most striking feature of Mama are its vivid, abstract collages by illustrator Ken Kewley that use raw, bold color to shape images from the story. A compelling and distinctive visual treasure to view and share with young folks, Mama is fun and recommended for preschool and kindergarten picture book collections.
