Sara Newman's new children's picture book, My Mommy Is a Vampire, published July 14, 2026, transforms treasured family memories into a whimsical story about unconditional love. The book, dedicated to her grandmother Norma Dombroff, began as playful bedtime storytelling and evolved into a narrative that celebrates family quirks and the sacrifices parents make.
The story follows a child whose vampire mother struggles with daytime activities but always prioritizes her child. Through comedic scenes, the book conveys that love is measured by sacrifice, not appearances. It addresses common childhood experiences, such as feeling embarrassed by parents or wanting to fit in, while encouraging empathy and emotional resilience.
Newman, a children's author inspired by her family's colorful history, aims to entertain while delivering meaningful lessons. Educators note the importance of stories that promote understanding of family diversity and acceptance. The book's playful approach to a traditionally frightening character—a vampire—highlights how differences can become treasured aspects of family life.
