The happy, ungendered baby at the center of this day-in-the-life-style book luxuriates in maternal adoration. Opening with a scene of the smiling infant receiving a "hug" from peach-skinned Mommy and a "squeeze" from brown-skinned Mama, the cheerful narrative proceeds to capture a meal, a mess, a farm visit, and a bath and bedtime routine. With minimal plotting and simple rhyming couplets, Membrino emphasizes family togetherness throughout. "Mama's voice is soft and low./ Mommy smiles, my heart glows.// I love my moms and they love me./ Together we are family!" Ruiz's soft illustrations are outlined in multicolored lines and washed in flowery pastels; uncluttered, light-infused scenes radiantly capture the family's contentment. Together, pictures and text alike present a tender portrait of the moms' love for each other and their child. Ages 3-5. (Mar.)
