Me & Mama by Cozbi A. Cabrera
4.0
Strengths - Beautifully illustrated book with pure Black joy. No underlying message of racism or anything besides a wonderful mama and the child that loves her so much. The comparisons of mom’s item and daughters version are sweet and relatable to kids. Even the end papers have pictures of the comparing items like mother-daughter bikes, swimsuits, winter hats, chairs, etc.
Weaknesses - Some of the text is choppy nd so ungrammatical it is hard to follow. “Some things don’t let go. But for what?” is one example.
Special considerations (artwork, curriculum links, community values, beliefs espoused) -
SLJ format: Your Verdict, supported with details from the book and about your audience. Verdict: A great addition to any library to bring diversity and a book that is positive about family and Black joy.
