In this sweet companion book to Because Your Daddy Loves You, Because Your Mommy Loves You is about a little boy and his mom going on a hiking trip and camp out under the stars. Mommy is as calm and reassuring, but also goes far to foster her son’s independence in an encouraging and loving way. As heartwarming as its predecessor, this read-aloud book is sure to become a family favorite.
