What's special about me, Mama?
So many things, Love.
Like what, Mama?
Like your eyes, Love, and the way they tell amazing stories without any words.
But everyone says I have your eyes. What's special about me?
A boy wonders what exactly makes him unique among everyone else in his family. In rhythmically written, comforting answers, Mama lists his many wonderful traits, both physical attributes and behavior. Her son thinks all of those qualities are just little things, until Mama explains that there is nothing little about love.
What's special about you, Love, is that you are loved more than anybody in the whole wide world--by me!
Tell me again, Mama.
This tender conversation between a parent and child is illustrated with bright and bold collage artwork portraying racial diversity. Together Kristina Evans and Javaka Steptoe have made an affirming book that will stand out among other "I love you" offerings.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-K—A child's need to know that he or she is special is a common concern that has been addressed in various forms in picture books over the years. Here, Evans and Steptoe provide a warm and touching version, showcasing an African-American family. Evans's dialogue swings with an easy back-and-forth rhythm between a mother and her son, and Steptoe's collage illustrations, in deep rich colors, effectively position the characters, harmoniously connecting the two. In taking full advantage of the pages and spreads, the artist achieves an intimacy between the boy and his mother that melds well with the story. Hand-lettered text emphasizes the woman's words to her son—"Amazing," "Perfect," "Beautiful" in large bright colors and her answers to "What else, Mama?" connect with the child's everyday world. A heartfelt, comforting tale with the perfect ending: "Tell me AGAIN, Mama."—Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I borrowed this book from the library and my 18 month old son fell in love immediatly. It is a touching story about a little boy and his family. After multiple renewals at the library my son continues to as for the "mama book" 3-4 times a day so I have ordered it from amazon. I highly reccommend this book. The illustrations and prose are truly beautiful! |
