Bookspeed "Ik hou van jou mama"

The rhyming text reads aloud so smoothly, and Sophie Beer's illustrations are the kind of bright, joyful art that makes you want to keep flipping pages even after the baby's asleep. It's a small, sturdy board book, but it packs a proper emotional punch for any new mum.

I bought this for a friend who just had her first baby, and Sophie Beer’s bright, playful illustrations had both of us smiling on the first read. The board book feels nice and sturdy for tiny hands, which is a relief.

The rhyming text flows so beautifully that my sister teared up reading it to her newborn on the first night. Sophie Beer's illustrations are warm and joyful, making this sturdy board book feel like a keepsake rather than just another baby gift.
