I just finished off a 'larger than life men' storytime, and I'm going to pair it with a 'larger than life women' installment as soon as February is done. I considered this one for that purpose, but decided on Anthony Browne's My Mom instead.
Mama Played Baseball isn't a bad read, but it is a bit on the long side for my age group, and it also has more to do with wartime changes and family-members in the armed services than really celebrating the mother in the title. I do like it, but I'm going to keep it in mind for when I focus on patriotism or service to one's country or wartime sacrifices/changes.
