Review of Mama Needs a Minute by Nicole Sloan

Mama Needs a Minute

Sometimes, Mama needs a minute—and that's OK!

From Nicole Sloan, founder of the Weird Mom Club—an inclusive Internet space for nonconforming moms—Mama Needs a Minute is an affirming, entertaining book for moms and toddlers to share. All about balancing a mama's needs with those of her kiddos, this sweet story teaches that love can look a lot of different ways. For kids, the book is a gentle introduction to concepts of self-respect and setting boundaries, and for moms, it’s a reminder to practice self-care.

**My thoughts**

This book definitely represents the modern mama. From the pictures of the tattooed arms to the coffee cup in hand and a break with a computer, it is really a glimpse at the new generation of moms. And this generation is also one that is really embracing the idea of self-care for Mom that was just getting started in my generation. And I think it is a good idea to let children know that mommies need a break just as much as they do. It is a sweet story and I hope it helps kids eventually understand its message, which is more difficult when they are younger and more demanding of attention.
