SuitabookLa main de maman
Claire Babin
- Reading
- Read a page or two at a time and invite your child to choose a gesture that feels important. Keep the discussion open to their own family experiences.
- Themes
- Care and growing independence: The mother’s hand is associated with practical care, comfort, protection, occasional reprimands and encouragement; the children eventually take flight. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The mother sometimes reprimands the children, alongside the many caring gestures. How those moments feel in the book is not clear.
