Meet Mama Cow
Welcome to Mama Cow Big feelings. Little readers. Beautiful beginnings.
Mama Cow Has A Baby is a heartfelt board book for children ages 1–5 that gently introduces the idea that some families need a little help to grow. Whether through surrogacy, sperm donation, or other forms of assisted reproduction, Mama Cow celebrates how love makes a family—no matter how that family comes to be.


Created by Lisa Proeber—a single mom by choice, former surrogate, and lifelong story-lover—Mama Cow uses simple rhymes, sweet farm animal characters, and cozy storytelling to open the door to big, important conversations with our tiniest humans.
A Book for Every Kind of Beginning
Whether you’re a parent, donor-conceived adult, surrogacy professional, or someone just starting their family journey, Mama Cow is here to help you share your story with the littlest hearts in your life.
Thoughtfully written for ages 1–5
Board book format (because sticky hands are a thing)
Inclusive, age-appropriate language
Lovable farm friends + gentle, memorable rhymes
