A story about having quality time between mom and son
The first ever children's book by bestselling writer, feminist, and activist Rebecca Walker tells an endearing story of mother and son set on the island of Maui in Hawai'i.
Six-year-old Jackson is bored, but his mama is too busy working to play with him. Jackson is patient until his favorite time of day—when his mama spends time with him. They step outside their front door into a magical garden of delicious banana and mango trees, and lush purple jacarandas. They sample the fruit, look up at the clouds, and learn about the world around them together. The story is accompanied by facts to expand the reader's knowledge and bring the natural world to life, such as how many bananas a tree produces and how ants build their homes.
Written by award-winning author Rebecca Walker, and drawing on her own personal experience of being a mother to her son, this charming story draws on the theory that just 20 minutes of quality time a day, between caregiver and child, nurtures and benefits their relationship in many different ways. The book will be fully illustrated by an artist who can bring to life the beautiful characters and luscious tropical setting of the book.
