Starred Review:

Mama's Scent

Patterns and textures layer in the jewel-toned collage illustrations of this exquisite picture book that honors the bond between mother and child. A girl muses on all the memories held in her mother’s scent: happy days, rosy cheeks, and special celebrations. The scent always makes her feel safe, but she is surprised when she smells it during school one day. After an extensive search, she discovers her mother’s scarf tucked into her schoolbag; she wraps herself in the scent until they are reunited.
