In a Minute, Mama Bear (Mama and Bella Bear) - Hardcover

"Adorable art, gentle humor and relatable situations make this tender and jubilant story one to read and reread." --The Washington Post "Bright handles the very real issue of the over-scheduled family with good humor and sympathetic characters, drawn in her signature scraggly style, which is as expressive of harried domestic life as the text itself. She also ends with a satisfying role reversal--after Mama hops on the bandwagon, it's little Bella who tells Mama it's time to go home." --Publishers Weekly "A solid message to caregivers about the value of unstructured time with their children." --Kirkus Reviews
