Description
MAMA SOA
Book Summary
A picture book that celebrates the unique connection between a mother and her child through sound. Each page reveals how the mother has a special sound for every moment of the day: from waking up to playtime or the calm moment before sleep. A poetic and sensory work that invites little ones to discover and recognize the everyday voices and noises that build the emotional family bond.
What is it about?
The book takes the reader on a journey through the different daily situations of a child with their mother. Through rhymes and wordplay, the sounds the mother makes in each context are explored: a peek-a-boo to wake up, a whisper to soothe, a song to play. Each double-page spread presents an everyday scene where the mother's sound becomes the common thread of the shared experience. The work invites children to participate by repeating or imitating those sounds, encouraging interaction during reading.
