Mama, I'll Give You the World
by Roni Schotter
A touching story of a single mother and her adoring daughter.
Luisa meets her mom every day after school, at her job at Walter's World of Beauty. Mama works very hard coloring and cutting her customers' hair and each night she takes her tips and saves them for Luisa's college fund. Tonight is Mama's birthday and Luisa has planned a wonderful surprise for her hard-working and deserving mom. "Mama hardly ever smiles, but when she does, she is the prettiest flower in the world."
The illustrations by S. Saelig Gallagher, bring to life the hustle and bustle of the big beauty parlor, with both the clients and the hairdressers all displaying a unique personality and style. Mama and Luisa are depicted with the warmth and affection of their characters.
This multi-cultural slice of city life is a warm and touching story, exemplifying the love in a family. It is appropriate for ages 5 to 8 and would be of special interest to a child with a single mom.
