Customer Reviews

A favorite gift

I laughed out loud when first I read Somebody's Mother - the tone and the topics are so very true to life. I've given it as a gift to at least 20 lady friends - each at a different stage of child rearing or with a unique parenting challenge. Their spirits are always lifted...chuckling out loud is very therapeutic.

Funny, warm-hearted and right on target!

For all you mothers out there that have raised (or are in the midst of raising) a teenager, Somebody's Mother offers a chance for you to share nods and bursting-out-loud laughter through its delightful verse and drawings. Kepner is a mother who has an uncanny ear for capturing just the right tone and phrases in her verse and bits of dialogue with her children. As a single mom of a preteen and a teen, I instantly recognized so many "scenes" and "things" and felt like I traveled in a sweet and aching wonderland during the hour that I moved through its pages.

A treasure

This book is a treasure: funny, wise and beautifully crafted. I first read it when my son was a toddler but didn't realize I was reading a roadmap of what was to come. Now he's a teenager, and this book will give me the sense of humor I need to survive. I should add that anybody's father will appreciate the book as much anybody's mother. dcole@well.com

Poetry in Motion (Mothering!!)

This book captures the joys and frustrations of parenting. It had me sighing in recognition & laughing out loud. The author captures the essence of the mothering experience without irritating sappiness. The author clearly sees her kids as kids & as people too. Most important this book is FUN! Should be on every mother's shelf.
