John Carter Cash’s book, Momma Loves Her Little Son, is a darling fantasy re-telling of a small but beautiful tradition between June Carter Cash and her son, John. Like the terms of endearment we use with our own children, this rhyming story tells the loving expression John heard every day of his childhood, “Momma love her little son.”
I personally love books that rhyme and this one does so in a musical way – which is not surprising with the musical talent behind the author’s lineage. Reminiscent of the story of th little nutbrown hare, the reader finds herself thinking about the depth and breadth of her love for her children.
Marc Burckhardt’s beautiful paintings illustrate each verse, realistically depicting the magical adventures of this mother and son. It will strike a cord with any reader who has or longs for a loving relationship with his parent.
From the publisher:
John Carter Cash, the only son of music legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, shares a lyrical story inspired by the intimate words his mother shared with him as a child. In Momma Loves Her Little Son, the first children’s book from this author and five-time Grammy Award-winning music producer, little ones are swept away on a magical adventure over mountains and skyscrapers and through forests and streams in a tender and joyful celebration of the enduring bond between mother and child. Illustrated in Americana art style by Marc Burckhardt, the picture book is an expression of love between a mother and her son, which comes to life in vibrant simplicity.
