“This is a fun story that reverses the narrative of a parent coaxing their child to get ready for school. This picture book centres the child and has been enjoyed by my five year olds.”

“This humorous story will have both kids and parents laughing out loud as it parodies the many strategies parents use to hurry their kids along in the morning. The role reversal is perfect for discussing routines with school age children as it gives them insight into the stages of getting ready that parents need to think about while keeping the mood light and entertaining. It’s also a great reminder for parents not to sweat the small stuff. Get Ready, Mama! feels like a great big morning hug when the sun isn’t quite up. ”
- Picture Book Parents
“very effectively uses the idea of role reversal in GET READY, MAMA!, with a child taking on a parental role. As well as making for a very fun book, this approach strikes me as a great way to encourage children to put themselves in others’ shoes and consider different perspectives.”
