A body-positive picture book about a young boy's love for his mother and his mother's belly.

A body-positive picture book about a young boy's love for his mother and his mother's belly.

Everyone has a panza-it can be big and round, soft and small, or somewhere in between. But a young boy's favorite panza of all is Mama's. Her panza is capable of remarkable things, and she loves it as an important part of herself.

Her panza was also his first home. Even before he was born, it cradled and held him.

When he's feeling shy and needs a place to hide or when he wants somewhere to rest during a bedtime story, Mama's panza is always there. With affirming text by Isabel Quintero and vivid art by Iliana Galvez, Mama's Panza is a young boy's love letter to his mother, along with a celebration of our bodies and our bellies.
