""What I loved about Mommy Mayor is how warmly it highlights the way even kids can make a difference when they become involved in their own town, which evokes the phrase ""Small, but mighty"" to me. Janneke House's writing is easy to understand and inviting, filled with genuine little moments-like when the slide isn't slippery enough-and relatable, since children always want to help when they can. Sisca Kumara's brightly colored, cheerful illustrations really bring the story to life, perfectly capturing the book's spirit and Mary's determination. As an educator, I believe it can spark great conversations related to teamwork, problem-solving, and helping others. Teachers could create their own ""Mayor for a Day"" in their classrooms, or have students identify a project at school or home that they could help fix. It's a fun, positive read that encourages young learners to be active, caring members of their neighborhoods."" - Reviewed by Jennifer Senick for Readers' Favorite
