It's a Mom!

Coming March 10, 2026. Pre-order today!

By: Abby Cooper / Illustrated by: Eliana Gutiérrez

You have a mom! Now what?

New moms are a lot of work. When do they eat? Sleep? Play? Having a mom is a major responsibility, but little babies have been preparing for this since they were the size of an avocado. If anyone can take good care of a mom, it’s a baby! With playful humor and wildly relatable motherhood moments, this how-to picture book flips the script.

Beneath the playful tone and humorous moments, this tongue-in-cheek guide gently illuminates the deeper truth that while motherhood is filled with love and joy, it's also layered with exhaustion, self-doubt, and sacrifice. By facing these challenges through the innocent eyes of a baby, the book offers empathy and affirmation, reminding moms that they are seen, valued, and doing an extraordinary job—even on the hardest days.
