  • Happy Mamas

    Kathleen T Pelley, Child Welfare League of America (CWLA). Produced by Brook Forest Voices

    Audible Audiobook (Child Welfare League of America, )
    Happy Mamas is a lyrical audiobook that pays tribute to the universal joys of mothering in the animal and human kingdoms. A charming listen by the author, with sound effects and music, depict all the activities that bring joy to a mama and her baby over the course of a day: feeding her cubs bundles of bamboo shoots, teaching her calf how to trumpet a loud jungle cheer, playing peek-a-boo, watching her chicks fly from the nest, singing a serenade to the man in the moon, or crooning owly lullabies through the deep, dark woods. But as the moon glows and the stars shine, what is it that makes all mamas from desert to jungle, from forest to field, from land to sea, happiest by far? Mamas and babies everywhere will delight in this happy romp! It is a perfect ode to motherhood. Mom's Choice Award Gold Recipient.
