When Mommy wishes she had eight arms like a spider or maybe an octopus, Mina needs to know why. Eight arms, Mommy says, could help her do everything: dress Mina, bathe Bala, feed the baby, cook, and clean! That's when Mina and her little brother come up with a magical idea. With one pencil-wand and a dash of imagination, they grant mommy ten arms -two of them just for Mommy to take care of herself. What begins as a wish turns into a discovery: the best "extra arms" are helping hands at home. Together, Mina and Bala learn they can be part of the magic by pitching in, and Mommy learns that love and teamwork make even the busiest days feel lighter.
This tender, funny, and reassuring picture book celebrates:
Family teamwork and everyday helping
Empathy for parents and self-care
Imaginative play that solves real problems
Perfect for ages 3-7 and for any family that's ever wished for just a few more hands.
