In this lullabyesque tale from the team behind I Love You Because You're You, a kangaroo mother comforts her daughter throughout all her new experiences, such as going to school and running in a race. McPhail's illustrations-the two kangaroos splashing in the rain, the little kangaroo learning how to share a red ball with friends-are just as soothing as Baker's text ("Mama's right here/ And I always will be"). The sweet affection shared between mama and child is sure to make it a favorite. Ages 2-5. (Apr.)
