To Jackson, Mama is the most important person in the world. But when she has to work, his imagination can only keep him entertained for so long. Who else can he share everything with, from the tallest tree to the tiniest hummingbird? This beautiful picture book was inspired by Rebecca’s own experience as a working mother struggling to make time for her son. Drawing on the theory that just 20 minutes of quality time a day between parent and child benefits their relationship in multiple ways, this book is a heartfelt dedication to our most precious human resource: the time we spend together. Hosted by Yvonne Brooks. Perfect for kids 4 to 8, but all ages are welcome.
