Book Descriptions
for Plenty of Hugs by Fran Manushkin and Kate Alizadeh
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"Every worm has a wiggle, and every cow has a moo. / There's a leap for each frog, and a peek for each BOO!" A small boy in a multiracial family enjoys spending a day with his two moms, playing outside, taking a bike ride to the zoo, and then coming home to a supper and a bath, a story and then a kiss good night. A gently rhyming text reveals the closeness of the three family members and the love they share. The pencil drawings, colored digitally, show each character as distinctive individuals. One mom as Asian and the other as white, and their young son is brown-skinned. (Ages 2-5)
