Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Amy Parker, Tommy. Nelson Books and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
How to Get a Mommy To Sleep by Amy Parker gave my heart full and made me smile. I may not be a mommy but I could appreciate this book being a very proud Auntie. I could tell that she wrote it from her heart.
This book is everyone who has mothered Amy and shown her what motherhood has meant to them: tireless, unique humans raising tired like unique humans-all created in the perfect image of God.
This is the second children’s book I have read of Amy’s and illustrated by Natalia. As I said in the past they are a really great team. I felt a stronger connection with this book emotionally not to mention it was comical too. Natalia did an incredible job creating comical coloring book-like graphics when it related to the story.
I really enjoy her Illustration skills. I also like how she intertwined Amy’s faith into the picture by having the Bible on the bed.
Like in her other book Amy had a prayer at the end of the book.
This would be a great book for a mother to read to her son or daughter at bedtime.
