My friend is a single mother, and she has a toddler that she reads to every night. She's prepared to have the "do I have a daddy?" talk with her eventually, but in the meantime, she would love to find some normal children's books that show everyday situations with just mommies and children. Can you recommend some, please?

Can you recommend children's books with moms only?

Where the Wild Things Are, although it's about a little boy... But still a cute book.

Llama Llama Red Pajama
Llama Llama Misses Mama
Llama Llama Mad at Mama
These are DS2's favorite books right now. It's just Llama Llama and his mama...no Daddy llama mentioned. Probably because "daddy" and "llama" don't rhyme!DS1 age 21 years

DS2 is 13 months old and this is his favorite book right now. I don't know if it would be too young for your friend's DD though.

I agree on Llama Llama -- my daughter loves the red pajama book! Great recommendation.
We also love Mommies Are For Counting Stars. I believe there are daddies in some of the pictures, but the text is focused on mommies.
Snow Bears is a lovely book that is about a mama bear and her three baby bears.Mama to DD 10/07 and DS 8/09
