Mama Zooms is about a little boy telling about his adventures with his mom, who is in a wheelchair. He compares her to his race car, spaceship, wagon, and many other things. At the end of the day when their adventures come to an end, the little boy says that she is just his mom and that he likes her the best when she is just his mom.
