Phyllis Root gives us a fantastic feminist version of how the universe came about in Big Momma Makes the World (also the 2002 Boston Globe Horn Book Picture Book Award Winner). In it, the universe's creator is not just a woman and mother. Instead it is the "Big Momma" and when she creates the world, "she didn't mess around." Root's down home, southern accented textual style draws the portrait of a powerful and straight talking matriarch. It also reflects the way kids feel about 'mother' in general. She is powerful as in she creates their world- both their personal world and the world outside their home through stories. Helen Oxenbury's illustrations brilliantly complement the text with realistic, yet softly colored illustrations. But this isn't your usual Oxenbury board book. Instead it's an Oxenbury epic for preschoolers. She does use her typical soft lines that suggest tenderness, but otherwise she draws with more realism and dynamism. She fills her usual white background space with color and uses dominance to make Big Momma bigger and baby smaller. This gives Big Momma that large than life feel and the naked baby comes across as wee, contented, and happily exploring her creation by her side. Big Momma and her baby are clearly spiritual beings and Oxenbury accomplishes this by making them the color of their surroundings-blue like water, white like light, and dark like night. Unfortunately the one illustration that detracts from this cohesiveness is the cover one. In it Big Momma and her baby are pink like the clouds at sunrise, and it distinctly makes them look less like archetypal beings and more like Caucasian folk. Yet the text supports Big Momma to be also African American and all ethnicities. Still this is one quibble and this book is highly recommended to public library collections. It would make an excellent read aloud to a large preschool group as well. Big Momma Makes the World is a must for public libraries. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Big Mamma, with a baby on her hip and laundry piling up, makes the world and everything in it and, at the end of the sixth day, tells the people she has made that they must take care of her creation. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I would use this book when studying the creation of the universe. On day five (Friday?) she decides to create the land animals in “One Big Bang.” Most students will be presented with two creation stories in their lives. I think Big Momma makes the world combines the Big Bang Theory with the idea of a creator without using any certain religion. This may help student with processing the two different theories.
