Wonderful little gem of a book for mothers

Whimsical drawings and short phrases dot the pages of this little treasure. Modern motherhood is viewed by defining the various roles mothers perform. Some roles are entertainer, role model, juggler, nurturer, and even lover, the author defines who a mother is to the various loved ones in her family. Cute little drawings illustrate the humorous and serious aspects of each role. This book contains references more toward the mother of school-aged children and teenagers. There are no references to mothering babies, such as breastfeeding or diaper changing. (As the mother of young children I wish there was a volume for just mothering babies and toddlers! I am sure it would be wonderful.) There are references to listening to your child's problems and sitting down to discuss things over tea and Kleenex. Some of the pages would be lovely framed. A lovely little book that is appropriate for a gift.

Sweet and thoughtful

I found this gem in a bookstore in Tokyo. The thoughtful situations, so relevant to a mother's life, are portrayed mostly by lovely drawings and a few carefully selected words. As an at-home mom, I often feel misunderstood. But Ms. White understands....perfectly. I bought this book for my mom for Mother's Day.
