Natalie Burns’
Tales From Mommy’s Heart
Series Earns Two Mom’s Choice Gold Awards
Purple Diamond Press is proud to celebrate children’s book author Natalie Burns as the first two books in her heartfelt Tales From Mommy’s Heart series have each received a Mom’s Choice Gold Award.
Mommy Goes to the Hospital and Love Travels With Mommy have both been recognized for excellence in family-friendly media, marking an exciting achievement for Burns and the growing children’s book series centered on motherhood, family connection, reassurance, and love.
With two award-winning children’s books now in the series, Tales From Mommy’s Heart continues to connect with families through stories inspired by the real emotions and experiences children may encounter when life temporarily changes their normal routines.
Two Award-Winning Children’s Books About Motherhood and Family Connection
Natalie Burns created the Tales From Mommy’s Heart series to tell meaningful stories about the connection between mothers and their children.
In Mommy Goes to the Hospital, young readers encounter a sensitive family experience through a reassuring and child-friendly story. The book offers comfort to children and families navigating a mother’s hospital stay or medical absence while reinforcing an important message: a mother’s love remains present even during time apart.
The second book in the series, Love Travels With Mommy, follows a mother and her two young sons as an upcoming business trip becomes the inspiration for an imaginative adventure. Through Captain Mommy, a New York City treasure hunt, and a loving connection that reaches across the miles, the story helps children understand that physical distance does not diminish a parent’s love.
Both books have now received Mom’s Choice Gold Awards, further establishing the Tales From Mommy’s Heart series as a growing collection of family-centered children’s picture books.
Children’s Books That Help Families Navigate Time Apart
Temporary separation from a parent can be difficult for young children to understand. Hospital stays, business travel, work obligations, and other life circumstances can disrupt familiar routines and create questions or uncertainty.
Through imaginative storytelling and reassuring parent-child relationships, Natalie Burns writes stories designed to help families approach these moments with warmth and connection.
The Tales From Mommy’s Heart series is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: love remains present even when Mommy cannot physically be right beside her child.
These themes make the books especially relevant for parents, caregivers, counselors, family resource professionals, and others seeking children’s books about separation anxiety, mothers and children, family relationships, emotional reassurance, and staying connected during time apart.
Natalie Burns: An Award-Winning Children’s Book Author
As a mother of three, Natalie Burns draws inspiration from motherhood and the everyday experiences that shape family life. Her stories center on family, imagination, comfort, and the emotional bond between a mother and her children.
Receiving a Mom’s Choice Gold Award for both Mommy Goes to the Hospital and Love Travels With Mommy is an exciting milestone in Burns’ publishing journey and an important recognition of the first two books in the Tales From Mommy’s Heart series.
The Mom’s Choice Awards honor excellence in family-friendly media, products, and services. Having the first two books in the same children’s series receive Gold recognition creates a strong foundation as the series continues to grow.
What’s Next for the Tales From Mommy’s Heart Series?
The journey is only beginning.
Natalie Burns is currently working on the third book in the series, Movie Night With Mommy. The upcoming children’s picture book follows a special movie outing that takes an imaginative turn when the darkness of the theater makes a young child nervous.
With Mommy by his side, the dark theater transforms into an exciting outer-space adventure filled with stars, planets, and imagination. The story explores childhood fear, courage, family connection, and the ways parents can help children see an uncertain moment differently.
Movie Night With Mommy will continue the heart of the Tales From Mommy’s Heart series while introducing readers to a playful new adventure.
