And those words have a rhythm that makes rhyme superfluous, popular though it is with children who enjoy having stories read to them. The subject matter is the same in that it reinforces the meaning in the title over and over, and yet it is never the same. Mama and her unnamed daughter play the piano, wander in a garden, turn into mermaids who play in the sea, and enjoy many other almost magical settings. There are countless ways Mama shows that she cares, and any little girl listening to her mother reading would know that she was loved. It would be a wonderful gift anywhere in the world; the use of Mama, not Mom or Mum, ensures that its appeal is truly international.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI read My Mama Loves Me: I\u2019m Her Little Girl by Shanalee Sharboneau three times and still found something new in every picture. Most of all, I liked the positive message of unconditional love. Who could resist \u201cmy mama stays with me, my mama plays with me\u201d, \u201cmy mama teaches me to dream\u201d, &#8220;my mama makes my life complete&#8221;, or \u201cmy mama folds my hands in prayer\u201d? Based on a lullaby for Shanalee\u2019s own sick baby, this is a book to be treasured and passed down through families. Every page is entertaining, and yet it carries an ageless message about everything that is precious in a mother and daughter relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Reviewed by Sarah Stuart for Readers&#8217; Favorite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThere is nothing quite so strong and meaningful as a mother\u2019s love. And it\u2019s something that\u2019s there forever, whether we realize it or not. Mothers teach us as children; they play with us as children, and they help guide our steps along the precarious path of life. A mother\u2019s love is a bond full of nurturing, teaching, encouraging, caring, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When author Shanalee Sharboneau\u2019s son was born, he had a severe reflux. She and her husband had to watch over young Braydon around the clock for the first six months of his life. She talked to him, sang to him, and did everything she could to soothe the young baby. What worked best was a song she wrote called My Mama Loves Me: I\u2019m Her Little Boy. The song became this beautifully illustrated book with lyrics to tug at the heartstrings. The charm and the power of this author\u2019s simple words will bring tears to any reader\u2019s eyes, much like Robert Munsch\u2019s story, \u201cLove You Forever,\u201d which also spoke of the unconditional love between a mother and her child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The repetitive and catchy words, \u201cMy Mama,\u201d start each new thought: \u201cMy Mama Wakes Me. My Mama takes care of me. My Mama starts my day with love.\u201d And it doesn\u2019t get any better than that \u2013 the true power of a mother\u2019s love. The last page says it all: \u201cMy Mama loves me. My Mama loves me. My Mama loves me all life long.\u201d Beautifully illustrated to capture the young reader\u2019s attention while the charming lyrics will capture the hearts of young and old alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u200b Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers&#8217; Favorite<\/strong><em>\u200b<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Great children&#8217;s book!!
