Themes: International, Children, Diversity, Culture, Bedtime, and Storytelling The Mongolian word for mom is "eej". The pronunciation is a bit like the English word "edge". In "Eej, Are You My Mommy?" a boy is too energetic to sleep, so his mother tells a story to help him settle down. At the same time he learns the words for "mom" and "dad" in several languages. The full color oil-painting-like illustrations on every page give readers a peek into 9 homes around the world, revealing architectural and textile motifs, furnishings, plants and pets common to each region. The book concludes with a world map so that readers can locate the families who appear in the Eej's stories.
