Just Like Mama

By   Nandita da Cunha

Age Group: 3 - 6 Years

Description: Mika adores her fun-loving Mama, who bakes cherry cakes, creates imaginative games, and fills their home with cozy campouts and stories. But when a new baby arrives, everything changes—Mama is suddenly busy, tired, and becomes a “rule monster” enforcing order and quiet. Hurt and confused, Mika misses her old Mama and struggles to adjust to sharing love and attention. Trying to win her Mama back, Mika imitates her strict ways, only to realize that rules alone can’t restore their bond. Through gentle conversations and small acts of kindness, both Mika and Mama find ways to reconnect, blending fun and family responsibility. The story warmly explores childhood feelings of jealousy and longing, the shifts that happen with a new sibling, and the miracle of a mother’s love returning stronger than ever. Perfect for families navigating change, it’s relatable, heartfelt, and full of warmth.
