In this cozy read-aloud--with an irresistible mix of humor and tenderness--a mom assures her daughter that while mothers may not be perfect, they'll always be full of love. The first picture book by the bestselling author of The Light We Lost and The Love We Found.
Vibrant, adorable illustrations accompany a mother's explanation to her daughter, who makes outrageous requests that simply can't be met. "I can't grow a striped banana. I can't stretch like a giraffe. I can't hear an earthworm's whisper or make a spider laugh," Mom admits. But the girl's requests just get sillier, until the funny and touching moment the next day when Mom shows her daughter that she might have to disappoint her sometimes, but she'll always find a way to demonstrate just how much she loves her.
