Fletcher and Bouron create an intimate portrait of the family bond in bold patterns, stylish color choices, and contemporary scenes that pair well with the lyrical text of the book.? ?Each page shows how women's strengths, intellect, and skills enrich the lives of their children and communities in the day to day -- from feeding and bathing little ones, to sharing her interests in math, sports, science, technology, arts and music.?

In "What Are Mommies Made Of?" readers can see the many ways women thrive and raise their kids, acknowledging their hard work and love in a way that shows their value.

If we empower moms, we empower kids. And, with over three million babies being born in the U. S. each year, we have so many mothers to celebrate and support. When we show how important motherhood is, we show children that they can be anything, just like their mommies.
