My daughter who is six and just exploring food got a kick out of this。 My husband and her read it a couple times a week and it has been helping us with different foods。 I love the art and it's a fun read。 My daughter who is six and just exploring food got a kick out of this。 My husband and her read it a couple times a week and it has been helping us with different foods。 I love the art and it's a fun read。 。。。more

Thank you， Mama is a sweet book celebrating foods， flavors， and how food brings us together！ My daughter and I loved the diverse foods included and how each food was described。 The descriptions of each food and flavor were so vivid it was easy to imagine snacking on them。 The bright colors， beautiful illustrations， and engaging word-art made the book even more delectable。 We loved the message that food is best when it’s shared with those we love。Thank you， Mama is definitely going to fill your h Thank you， Mama is a sweet book celebrating foods， flavors， and how food brings us together！ My daughter and I loved the diverse foods included and how each food was described。 The descriptions of each food and flavor were so vivid it was easy to imagine snacking on them。 The bright colors， beautiful illustrations， and engaging word-art made the book even more delectable。 We loved the message that food is best when it’s shared with those we love。Thank you， Mama is definitely going to fill your heart！ 。。。more

TikTok and viral video star Grey （of @greyandmama） shares a sentiment with his Mama that sometimes gets lost or caught up in hustle and bustle of the day of being a busy mama: 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨。 It seems like a small thing to say， but it has such a very strong impact to a mother， especially from a child。 Therefore， to see 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪， 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖 out in the world for parents and children to read is such a wonderful idea to convey about gratitude， respect， and manners。Grey’s mama， Linda Meeker， has written a grea TikTok and viral video star Grey （of @greyandmama） shares a sentiment with his Mama that sometimes gets lost or caught up in hustle and bustle of the day of being a busy mama: 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨。 It seems like a small thing to say， but it has such a very strong impact to a mother， especially from a child。 Therefore， to see 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪， 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖 out in the world for parents and children to read is such a wonderful idea to convey about gratitude， respect， and manners。Grey’s mama， Linda Meeker， has written a great book to help children understand the significance of not only modeling good behaviors of thankfulness but also encourages healthy eating and adventures with new foods。 Illustrator Sandra Eide makes this playful picture book come to life with her bright， colorful food illustrations paired with words for each item。 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪， 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖 is targeted for 3 to 7-year-olds that can learn to create a tighter bonds with their mamas through food and perhaps stop being scared to try new foods。I enjoyed the message of 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪， 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙖 because I was not like Grey growing up。 I was a picky eater。 I still am， but I’m trying to expand my palate。 I think it is valuable for young kids to respect and honor the ways our mamas sacrifice their time and love to cook for us and feed us daily。 My mama cooked me and my sister 3 meals a day when we were kids—I don’t know if we always said， “Thank You， Mama。” Today， I will say， thank you， Mama for all the meals you cooked then。 I really appreciated them。I would be most thankful if you purchased this for your little one。 It published on April 19th。 I recommend you also thank your mama if you haven’t lately， too。 Try something new， it won’t hurt you！ 。。。more

This is a sweet book about gratitude， manners and sharing healthy meals with family。 The author， Linda Meeker， and her son Grey have become Tik Tok stars！ I have never been on there， so they are new to me， but be sure to check them out！ I like that the illustrations and story show that healthy foods are good and allows kids to follow Grey along as we tries new things！

Thank you to the author， Thomas Nelson and NetGalley， for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。This beautifully illustrated story about healthy eating and exploring food preferences is a fun read for pre-schoolers， and is a good conversation starter about trying new things。 There isn't much of a story involved， but a lively discussion ensued with the young children I read it with， about their favorite foods and how food from different cultures can become our favorite too。 Thank you to the author， Thomas Nelson and NetGalley， for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。This beautifully illustrated story about healthy eating and exploring food preferences is a fun read for pre-schoolers， and is a good conversation starter about trying new things。 There isn't much of a story involved， but a lively discussion ensued with the young children I read it with， about their favorite foods and how food from different cultures can become our favorite too。 。。。more

What a fun read！ The illustrations were beautiful and my younger sister loved it as I read it to them。

*I received a digital review copy from NetGalley & the publisher*Loved the illustrations and what this book has to say about exploring a child's food preferences。 I don't think this would hold every kid's interest （it felt more like just listing off good foods） but if you're a fan of the greyandmama tiktok account then you'll still enjoy this。 *I received a digital review copy from NetGalley & the publisher*Loved the illustrations and what this book has to say about exploring a child's food preferences。 I don't think this would hold every kid's interest （it felt more like just listing off good foods） but if you're a fan of the greyandmama tiktok account then you'll still enjoy this。 。。。more

There is many things to be thankful to your mother for。 In this colorful book on Asian culture and food， Grey is ready to start the day with his mom。 Food is the center of Grey's day with playing pretend with his dog and his family。 The illustrations are playful and I was hungry after reading all the fun things to do with food。A special thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review。 There is many things to be thankful to your mother for。 In this colorful book on Asian culture and food， Grey is ready to start the day with his mom。 Food is the center of Grey's day with playing pretend with his dog and his family。 The illustrations are playful and I was hungry after reading all the fun things to do with food。A special thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review。 。。。more

This was a quick， fun read。 Grey is a little boy who doesn't know what his favorite foods are as he like anything and everything his mama and other family members make for him。 Throughout a day in his life， he feasts on many different food， including Vietnamese and American food。 The illustrations are very cute and beautiful。 A great read for children of 3-7 years。Thank you， NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Children's， for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion。 This was a quick， fun read。 Grey is a little boy who doesn't know what his favorite foods are as he like anything and everything his mama and other family members make for him。 Throughout a day in his life， he feasts on many different food， including Vietnamese and American food。 The illustrations are very cute and beautiful。 A great read for children of 3-7 years。Thank you， NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Children's， for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest opinion。 。。。more

Grey takes a bite out of a host of foods， trying to figure out which one he loves best。 Then he realizes his favorite food depends on one big factor。 Grey is a cute character and all-around good kid。 This is an adorable book centered around food， family， and love。 I’m grateful to have read this via NetGalley， courtesy of the publisher。

Emily Roberts ，

Adorable book that subtly showcases different family cultures and encourages healthy eating habits。 It’s a bit repetitive going through each meal of the day， and it’s not the most eloquent book， but still enjoyable。 The illustrations are beautiful， soft， and sweet。

This was an adorable read about a boy who couldn’t decide what his favorite food was， not until the end when he figured it out。 Although， I found the book cute to read， it felt like it was not much of a story， like a story to read for a child， but more of a food admiration。 It can be tricky figuring out your favorite food， like this little boy does， it did come with a good ending， which I liked。 What I also liked is how it teaches kids to say ‘thank you。’ Growing up， I was so used to saying it t This was an adorable read about a boy who couldn’t decide what his favorite food was， not until the end when he figured it out。 Although， I found the book cute to read， it felt like it was not much of a story， like a story to read for a child， but more of a food admiration。 It can be tricky figuring out your favorite food， like this little boy does， it did come with a good ending， which I liked。 What I also liked is how it teaches kids to say ‘thank you。’ Growing up， I was so used to saying it that I was confused when other’s didn’t。 So that’s a plus。 The illustrations were pretty and colorful， and it fit perfectly with the story about food。 But as mentioned， it didn’t feel like it was a story but it was an okay read nevertheless。Happy reading！♥️I got this book for free from netgalley。com in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I don't have TikTok but I did see some videos of the lovely Grey eating delicious food on Instagram from time to time last summer and I thought he was always very sweet （not a pun！）。 This book is aesthetically pleasing and heartwarming。 There's not much to go on and it's very simple， and while I don't have any myself， I think this little children's book is a perfect way to start discussing food with your kids。 Don't read this on an empty stomach though！ I don't have TikTok but I did see some videos of the lovely Grey eating delicious food on Instagram from time to time last summer and I thought he was always very sweet （not a pun！）。 This book is aesthetically pleasing and heartwarming。 There's not much to go on and it's very simple， and while I don't have any myself， I think this little children's book is a perfect way to start discussing food with your kids。 Don't read this on an empty stomach though！ 。。。more

As a fan of Grey on Tiktok I was so excited to see they made an adorable children's book based around him。 He is an adorably sweet boy with excellent manners and this book was so clever。 I loved the drawings and use of movement and color in the text。 This would be a super fun book to read aloud and open up conversations with kids on their own favorite things。 As a fan of Grey on Tiktok I was so excited to see they made an adorable children's book based around him。 He is an adorably sweet boy with excellent manners and this book was so clever。 I loved the drawings and use of movement and color in the text。 This would be a super fun book to read aloud and open up conversations with kids on their own favorite things。 。。。more

I found the book a little "listy" at times。 It was great to see all of the variety of foods provided that might be a way to introduce kids to new items but it lacked a little more story to keep my interest。 The illustrations were colorful。 I found the book a little "listy" at times。 It was great to see all of the variety of foods provided that might be a way to introduce kids to new items but it lacked a little more story to keep my interest。 The illustrations were colorful。 。。。more
