Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-K--This fanciful, feel-good story follows a mother-daughter pair, who are white, as the daughter grows from baby to little girl and faces new experiences with a mixture of wonder and fear. From her first time seeing the ocean to a thunderstorm to the first day of school, her mother offers the same comforting refrain: "Because we are not always going to feel happy, but I am always going to be your mommy." Ugolotti's pretty, pastel artwork featuring flowers and stars, mermaids and ice cream, complements the fairy-tale inspired prose. VERDICT This sweet uplifting story is an ideal gift, sure to be a treasured reread.--Kristy Pasquariello
