About the Book

Bedtime can feel like forever when you’re waiting for mom! Mom, Are You Ready? by Isaias C. Rodriguez (Mascot Books, November 1, 2022) captures the heart of those nightly routines through the eyes of a little girl who just wants to be tucked in. As she eagerly waits, she learns the importance of patience, the value of manners, and the comfort of knowing that mom will always be there—once the chores are done.

With its warm, gentle illustrations, this picture book beautifully balances humor, love, and reassurance. Young readers will connect with the little girl’s impatience while parents will smile knowingly at the familiar bedtime juggling act. More than just a story, this book encourages positive habits—such as saying “please” and practicing patience—woven seamlessly into a relatable family moment.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, or libraries, Mom, Are You Ready? provides a sweet reminder that routines, while sometimes tiresome, are part of what makes family life meaningful. A cozy, reassuring read-aloud for kids who love bedtime stories filled with warmth and care.
