Children’s Storytime: Dawn Babb Prochovnic, Mama's Home! (And Baby Too!)

BOLD is thrilled to host a special children’s storytime with Dawn Babb Prochovnic, author of Mama's Home! (And Baby Too!).

Join children’s author Dawn Babb Prochovnic, as she leads a lively, interactive storytime featuring her latest children’s book, Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!). We’ll sing songs, learn some vocabulary words in American Sign Language, read a story, and participate in book-enrichment activities that are especially fun for growing families! Dawn will be available after the storytime to answer questions and autograph books.

Mama's Home! (And Baby, Too!)

Welcome mama and a new sibling home with this lyrical story set to the background of joyful family life and childhood play.

What's a child to do when they're missing mama? Get the house ready and eagerly wait for her to come home, of course. But when she finally appears, she comes with a surprise. A new sibling!

There are plenty of reasons to miss mom, but missing her while she's bringing a new life into this world is a unique and special experience. Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!) beautifully captures these emotions in a sweet poem from Dawn Babb Prochovnic.

Accompanied by adorable illustrations from Adèle Dafflon that evoke the joy of childhood, this adorable board book addresses feelings of separation, teaches children how to cope with a changing family, and models positive family life.

Dawn Babb Prochovnic is an early literacy consultant and the award-winning author of over 20 books for young readers. She has devoted her life's work to initiatives that support literacy and the literary arts including early literacy enrichment programs, school and library author visits, creative writing workshops, and her educational blog. Prochovnic holds a master's degree in organizational communication and lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, two kids, one cat, and a feisty dog.
