Me and My Mama

A tender celebration of love, laughter, and everyday magic 💞

Me and My Mama honors the beautiful bond between mother and child through joy-filled moments and gentle rhyme.

Me and My Mama is a lyrical love letter to the everyday experiences that shape a child’s sense of safety, joy, and belonging. Written by Carole Boston Weatherford—the 2025–2026 Young People’s Poet Laureate and a Coretta Scott King Award winner—and illustrated by Ashleigh Corrin, this board book transforms ordinary moments into treasured memories.

From sliding at the park and building forts to wishing on dandelion puffs, each page celebrates the comforting rhythms of play, love, and togetherness between Mama and child. Weatherford’s soothing rhyme pairs beautifully with Corrin’s vibrant, inclusive illustrations, offering young readers a gentle, affirming reading experience that supports emotional security and connection. Some of the most powerful memories are made in the simplest moments — and this book captures them with warmth and grace.

Themes: Mother–child bond, love, play, emotional security, family joy
