The Best Mother 💐💛📚

Maxine wakes up in a grumpy tangle and decides—very scientifically, of course—that the culprit must be… her mother. So she sets off to find a new one! With her (very patient) mom assisting in the search, Maxine interviews all sorts of “perfect” candidates at the park, the toy store, even the zoo. But each new option comes with its own set of hilarious complications—some too wild, some too wacky, none quite right.

As Maxine’s quest unfolds, she begins to notice something important: the mom who helps her look for a “better” mom might just be the best mother of all.

Filled with delightful illustrations and charming humor, this tender tale celebrates unconditional love, big feelings, and that universal childhood question: what if…? A sweet, reassuring story perfect for snuggly read-alouds and Mother’s Day moments alike. 🌸💞
