Why we’re here
My Mama Says was founded by Nadine Levitt—author, educator, and tech entrepreneur—out of a simple, powerful truth: emotional intelligence is the most underrated foundation for a happy, successful life.
What we believe in
Research + Impact-driven
Our storybooks, toys, and activities are built on proven SEL (Social Emotional Learning) frameworks to nurture self-awareness, social insight, self-management, decision-making, and relationship skills
Born from real family needs

Educator & community trusted
With free school curriculum rollouts and workshops across the U.S., hundreds of educators have integrated My Mama Says into classrooms and homes.
