From the creators of the New York Times bestselling HOW TO . . . picture books comes a hilarious and heartwarming new story about raising a happy, healthy mom! This humorous new addition to the beloved and bestselling HOW TO . . . books takes readers through a playful and productive day with Mom. Written in an instructional style, two siblings suggest the best ways to raise a happy, healthy mom--from waking her up in the morning to arranging play dates, to making sure she gets enough exercise, some quiet time, and plenty of veggies! Filled with charming role-reversal humor, creative ideas, and lots of love, How to Raise a Mom is the perfect gift for Mother's Day--or any day!
HOW TO RAISE A MOM by Jean Regan is an oversized hardcover picture book illustrated by Lee Wildish. Regan and Wildish are the creators of the New York Times bestseller HOW TO BABYSIT A GRANDPA. In a reversal of roles, Regan takes us through a typical day with children. Instead of Mom waking the kids with kisses, they wake her. The day consists of running earnings, waiting in lines and household chores. Helpful tips on how to keep Mom from getting grumpy will make young ones giggle. Cleaning up, dinner with vegetables turned into trees eaten by dinosaurs and more. The pages are packed with illustrations that are colorful and help the story come to life. I imagine readers will discover new things on each time they read. This was a light and funny way to remind children just how wonderful Mom is and the role she plays in their own lives. This would make a great book to gift little reader around Mother’s Day.

Kimberly,
Thanks for reviewing my book. It put a smile on my face. 🙂 This book was a really fun one to write, and then I always love to see what Lee Wildish, the illustrator, does. He’s so incredible. I’m so lucky he’s the illustrator for this series!
Thanks. Jean

I am slowly building the grandbabies bookshelf. Sophia loved the pictures, but will appreciate the humor and message when she is older.

What a creative idea! This seems like one of those books that the kids will love, and the adults won’t mind reading it! I’ve recently started accepting review copies of children’s books, so be on the lookout for some reviews on my blog soon.
