As a mother tucks her child into bed, the young boy has a question (or a few) whether if Mama would love him if he were not himself; perhaps a scary ape, green alien, a terrible dinosaur, or other outrageous creatures.  All of these creative yet outlandish scenarios that the young boy presents his mother are all retorted with the same reply from her—that she will always, unconditionally love her little boy.

The illustrations are unique and bold with compositions are sure to make young readers laugh at the little boy’s ridiculous scenarios of different animals he would be.  A great story that teaches children about family love and values
