#MelAndNikkiReview
Mama’s Sleeping Scarf is a heartfelt story that celebrates the unbreakable bond between a child and her mother. With captivating illustrations that reflect a family’s culture and love helps tell the story with such poise.
We loved seeing the bond of the whole family within the story and how the scarf played such an important role within the family. An object that might be so simple for others but very symbolic to this family – it was beautiful to see.
For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 scarves out of 5! We all have symbols within our families that tie our families bond and joy together. In this story, the scarf is a great symbol that unites and bonds this beautiful family. It was such a great joy to read and it warmed my heart too!
