My Mom Should Join the Circus is a playful, heartfelt rhyming picture book that celebrates the extraordinary things moms do every single day - told through the wide, wonder-filled eyes of a child who thinks their mom might just be the greatest performer on earth.
In this joyful story, an adoring child makes the case that their mom deserves a spot in the circus. After all, she juggles responsibilities with ease, walks the tightrope of a busy schedule, lifts heavy days like they weigh nothing at all, and tames the wildest of tantrums from lions aged one to two. She finds missing socks before anyone knew they were lost, races out the door in one amazing dash, and keeps the whole family show running as its one and only ringmaster.
But as the story unfolds, the child begins to see something deeper beneath all the impressive feats. The circus is never-ending - full of noise and mess and motion - and through it all, Mom is always there. Not just performing, but leading. Not just keeping things moving, but showing her children how to do hard things by leading with love and trust.
My Mom Should Join the Circus is written for children ages 3-8 and their families. It's the kind of book that makes kids laugh and makes moms feel genuinely seen. With warm, rhyming text and vibrant illustrations by Nili Studio, it transforms the beautiful chaos of family life into something worth celebrating - because when life feels like a circus, Mom is the calm in it all.
Perfect for Mother's Day, birthdays, baby showers, and any day a mom deserves to be celebrated, this book is a love letter from child to mother - funny, tender, and completely true.
