Why My Mom Is Great
A Heartwarming Story About Courage, Family & a Mom Who Protects Her Community

What does a little boy see when he looks at his mom's badge?

Leo sees his hero.

His mom is a deputy who spends her days helping people, keeping children safe, finding lost pets, teaching kids what to do in an emergency, and protecting her community. To Leo, she is brave, kind, hardworking, and always there when someone needs her.

But one night, everything changes.

While responding to a motor vehicle accident, Leo's mom is injured and taken to the hospital. Suddenly, the brave deputy everyone depends on is the one who needs help.

As Leo waits for his mommy to come home, he discovers that courage isn't about never being scared. It's about holding onto hope, loving your family, and being strong together.

And when Mom finally walks through the front door, Leo gives her the biggest hug he can.

Because people may say she protects the city...

But to Leo, she protects their home.
