When Mommy wishes for eight arms like a spider, her little children discover that the real magic is in helping together!

Can two little helpers really be better than eight extra arms? Join Mina, Bala, and Mommy as they discover that the strongest magic doesn’t come from spells—it comes from love, laughter, and working together as a team.

Mommy’s Many Arms is a heartwarming mommy-and-me picture book about empathy, teamwork, and emotional regulation. When Mommy sighs that she wishes she were a spider or an octopus so she could have eight arms to do everything at once, Mina and Bala turn the moment into playful problem-solving. With a pencil “magic wand,” Mina grants Mommy ten arms—including two just for self-care—and the children realize they can become Mommy’s extra arms by helping at home.
