Children's author Sara Newman announces the release of her new picture book, My Mommy Is a Vampire, a humorous and heartwarming story that transforms a classic monster into a loving mother. The book, available now through major online booksellers, is aimed at children ages 4–8 and combines playful imagination with a touching message about unconditional love and acceptance.
The story follows a young child who sometimes wishes for a "normal" mom. Unlike other mothers, the vampire mommy avoids sunny afternoons, shuns mirrors, and faces unique challenges during the day. When the child suddenly becomes sick at school, however, the mother does everything possible—including an unforgettable trip through the school entrance—to rescue her child, proving that a parent's love knows no limits.
Filled with charming humor and relatable family moments, the book encourages children to celebrate individuality while recognizing that every family expresses love in its own special way. "This story reminds children that the people who love us most may not always look or act like everyone else, but their love is what truly matters," Newman said.
The book is ideal for parents looking for meaningful bedtime stories, elementary school classrooms, school and public libraries, Halloween reading collections, family literacy programs, and readers who enjoy humorous monster-themed books with heartfelt messages. Rather than relying on scares, My Mommy Is a Vampire uses gentle humor and emotional storytelling to help children understand empathy, acceptance, and the enduring bond between parent and child.
Newman writes imaginative children's stories inspired by family memories and everyday moments. Her work blends humor, warmth, and meaningful life lessons that encourage children to embrace kindness, family, and individuality.
