When I was a little girl, I didn’t see characters that looked like me, and I didn’t know how crucial representation was until I became a mother of a beautiful brown girl. Baby Girl Bedtime Story: A Mother’s Love is a poem that highlights the special bond between mother and daughter. A mother’s love is unconditional and in this short and sweet children’s book, black and brown readers are able to connect with two beautiful characters through words of encouragement and beautiful representations of themselves. Representation matters especially for little black and brown girls. It builds confidence, pride, self-love, and self-respect. The phrases ‘Mommy, look! She’s brown like me!’ and 'Look at her beautiful hair!' are powerful and that’s exactly what a young girl says when she’s able to see relatable illustrations of herself in books. A Mother’s Love celebrates the beauty of diversity, motherhood, childhood, family, and unconditional love. Uplift a little girl with a beautiful children’s book that she’ll love and easily resonate with – never underestimate the importance of empowerment and positive reinforcement.
