Mommy's New Tattoo: a bedtime story for people by Levi Greenacres is an unusual children's book. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I picked up this book, but the artwork is colorful and reminiscent of tattoos and the story is a rhyming narrative about the authors first time in a tattoo parlor.
I will say that even though it is not my first choice in a book to read to my children, it did have a good message for kids about choices. The author talks about the fact that tattoos are permanent and the decision to get one should be made carefully. In fact, the authors message is my favorite line.
Favorite Line: Whether or not your decisions leave a scar behind you'll always be the happiest making up your own mind.
As someone with several tattoos, I loved this book. It doesn't make light the idea of marking one's body, but it also doesn't condemn someone for getting them.
