Some lessons come from school. The most important ones come from home - and from a mother who carries love like a family heirloom.
Samone is the youngest of six, and starting third grade feels like a very big deal. With her mother Mary's encouragement in her heart, she walks through the doors to meet Mrs. Williams - a teacher who makes the classroom feel like a place where every child belongs.
Mrs. Williams gives the class a special assignment: spend the week interviewing a family member about their life and bring their story back to school for the classroom's Family Wall of Fame. For Samone, that means sitting down with Mama.
What she learns surprises her. Where Mama came from. How she grew up. The lessons her own parents gave her - quiet, powerful, and alive in everything she does for her children every single day.
My Mama Is From Love is a beautifully illustrated picture book celebrating motherhood, family heritage, home-school connection and the generational wisdom that shapes who we become. Perfect for back-to-school season, classroom read-alouds, and any child ready to discover that their family's story is part of their own.
