ABOUT THE BOOK

Rubi Nicholas has recently become a published author, with the Mother’s Day release of her illustrated children’s book, “My Mom’s Not Cool”.  The book is published by Denver publisher Blueline Publishing and illustrated by Denver-based nationally-known illustrator and journalist, Maia Chavez Larkin.  This completely original book, based on the author’s own children, tells the story of a little girl who thinks all the other moms she sees are way cooler than her own mom. The voice of the little girl is echoed by young readers and moms alike as a “must read,” by school counselors, psychologists and little girl critics as well!

SHORT BLURB

In one day's time, an 8 year old voices her opinion about her uncool mother, but in the end has the heartwarming realization that their relationship is not about "cool," but about love. 

LONG BLURB

Do you feel like all the other girls have cooler moms than you? Guess what, even the Funniest Mom in America has trouble being cool with her own daughters! In her first illustrated children’s book, Rubi Nicholas, winner of the 2006 TV reality series “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” she tells the story of a girl who thinks her mom just doesn’t cut it. Her story is a familiar tale of 3rd grade angst and a heartwarming realization that the narrator’s mom really loves her – and surprise – she loves her mom back, whether she’s cool or not! Pick up this fabulous read for your daughter, aunt, mom, or grandmother, just to tell her you love her.

What readers are saying

---

“I loved this book! I really did go through some of these things. I couldn’t get my ears pierced and I couldn’t stay up late... but there is always something unique about your mom that no other mom has and this book really showed it.”

Samantha H., age 10

“This story provides a pure and heartwarming lesson to parents and children alike on what it really looks like to love.”

Lori C. Appleby, Ph.D.
School Psychologist

“This book reminds me of my mom’s penguin pajamas…SO NOT COOL!”

Hanna T., age 13

“As one definitely ‘not cool’ mom of young girls, I love that this is one of our favorite reads at night. Both my 7- and 9-year-olds ask for it over and over again! It has allowed us to dialogue and joke about it when Mom does one of her uncool things. As a somewhat ‘cooler’ (I hope) psychologist, I am so eager to share this book with the many parents and ‘tweens – especially mothers and daughters–who struggle constantly with separation and individuation.”

Catherine Panzarella, Ph.D. Associate Clinical Professor

“Every kid should have this book to know that her mom may not be cool but she still loves you.”

Maddie T., age 11

“This book is a must-read for all mothers and daughters! I had tears of joy and laughter in my eyes. I am saving a copy for my daughters to read with their daughters!”

"The basic needs of children for love and security do not ever change, even when their environment and experiences do. As a mother of two daughters and an early childhood educator, I found this to be a wonderful story focusing on a child's social and emotional development, and on a mother and daughter’s forever enduring love.”
