Mom School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Priscilla Burris. A little girl imagines what her mom learned in Mom School: how to read stories, "pitch a ball slowly so kids can hit it," bait a fishing hook, do more than one thing at a time, and bake cupcakes. Bolstered by Burris's emotive pencil drawings with digital coloring, the story is slight but cute enough and refreshingly stereotype-free.
