Sara Newman's new children's picture book, My Mommy Is a Vampire, transforms treasured family memories into a whimsical story that celebrates unconditional love. The book, dedicated to her grandmother Norma Dombroff, began as bedtime storytelling and evolved into a narrative that children everywhere can enjoy.
The story follows a child whose vampire mother struggles with ordinary daytime life but always puts her child first. Through imaginative scenes filled with comedy and warmth, readers discover that love is measured by sacrifice, not appearances. Parents will recognize familiar emotions—children feeling embarrassed by their parents, parents making extraordinary efforts, and families learning to embrace one another despite imperfections.
Educators have long recognized the importance of stories that encourage empathy and emotional understanding. My Mommy Is a Vampire uses fantasy to explore universal experiences children face daily: wanting to fit in, feeling different, and realizing that family love is something to celebrate. The book offers opportunities for conversations about family diversity, acceptance, gratitude, empathy, emotional resilience, and celebrating individuality.
While vampires have traditionally appeared as frightening characters in popular culture, Newman turns the familiar legend upside down by creating a mother whose greatest superpower is unconditional love. The book reminds readers that every family has its own quirks, and those differences often become life's greatest treasures.
Newman, a children's author whose stories celebrate family traditions, imagination, and the joy of childhood, drew inspiration from her own family's colorful history. She creates books that entertain children while delivering meaningful emotional lessons for readers of all ages.
