SuitabookMy Great Big Mamma
Olivier Ka
- Reading
- Read together and let the child set the pace around the body comments and eating choices; invite their thoughts without turning the story into a lesson about anyone’s food or body.
- Themes
- Accepting the mother as she is: The boy speaks proudly of his mother and values her softness, warmth and comforting presence. His affection presents her as worthy of love as she is, rather than for meeting other people’s expectations.
- Worth knowing
- The story may invite conversation about body judgement and food choices.
