While I don’t have children, I love reading children’s books, from picture books to middle grade fiction to young adult novels. I think it’s the kid in me. So, I looked forward to helping Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler build her blog tour and be a participant myself. Continue on to find out more about her incredible children’s book When Mama Grows With Me.

About the Book

WHEN MAMA GROWS WITH ME BY REBECCA WENRICH WHEELER: BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY

Monday, September 25, 2023

I’m so excited to have author Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler back with us again for another blog tour. Her last tour with us was for her amazing book Whispering Through Water. And I’m so happy to have her touring her newest book When Mama Grows With Me. It’s perfect for families who want to foster a love for nature and exercise and kids who love bugs and dirt!

Celebrate with us as we interview the author and giveaway a copy of the book to one lucky reader.

But first, here’s more information about the book:

In When Mama Grows with Me, a mama and her son create their own garden, starting with just a few small seeds and ending with a beautiful display of flowers. They observe how pollinators help the earth stay healthy, learn how to care for plants, and meet other critters that live in their garden, all while playfully shaping their bodies into yoga poses inspired by nature. Not only do Mama and her son learn valuable lessons about their garden, but along the way, they also learn to practice patience.

By pairing lessons with movement, Rebecca Wheeler helps young readers make connections between the natural world and their own emotional experiences. Learn the value of patience and practice some fun yoga poses in this beautifully illustrated children’s book.

Includes a step-by-step guide to each yoga pose!

My Review

What a charming and lovely book! I think it’s perfect to read with your child to inspire a love of gardening and expose them to yoga to encourage an overall feeling of nature and wellness. The author does such a beautiful job of expressing the importance of patience while waiting. Such an important lesson to teach a child! And the stretches expressed in the book are so easy to do along with the book.

Overall, this is absolutely charming to give your child. I definitely recommend it!

Purchase a copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Thrift Books, or Bookshop.org. Make sure you add it to your GoodReads reading list.
