A child’s questions open a window onto the 1980s

When a mother says she is “from the 80s,” her child wonders what that means and begins exploring her childhood. The discoveries evoke a world of arcade games, bright colors, big hair, drinking from the garden hose, and dancing for fun. The contrast between the child’s curiosity and the mother’s memories gives the story a family-centered way to bring one decade’s everyday experiences into conversation across generations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in humorous family stories
  • Parents and children who enjoy sharing stories and memories together
  • Families curious about everyday childhood life in the 1980s

Book overview

What does it mean when your mom says she's "from the 80's"?

 

Was it a place? A time? Or a whole different world?

 

In My Mom is from the 80's, one curious child sets out to uncover the mystery behind his mom's childhood-and discovers a world filled with big hair, bright colors, arcade games, and everyday adventures that feel almost too wild to be true.

From drinking water out of the hose to dancing like nobody's watching, each discovery brings laughter, surprise, and a new appreciation for how different (and fun!) things used to be.

 

Perfect for kids and parents to read together, this playful and nostalgic story sparks conversations, shared memories, and meaningful moments.

 

A heartfelt and fun gift for moms who grew up in the 80's-and the kids who want to understand them.
