Description:
From accolades: "My mom's the best mom because she always eats all the mushy bananas so we get to have the new ones." ...to cavils: "She reads the label on everything. If it has chemical stuff with long names she says it's poison. And she won't buy it, no matter how much you beg." ...to perceptions: "When I wanted a sister she took that into consideration. So now I have one." ...to concerns: "When I'm a mother I won't sing along to songs on my daughter's radio when I don't know the right words in front of all her friends." Boys and girls speak up from the pages about their favorite champion, their most powerful superheroine: Mom. Compiled by the co-editor of the bestselling Children's Letters to God, Stuart Hample, this little purple treasure will charm its way right into your heart. Warm, touching, and occasionally hilarious, the entries are from real children, ages 8 to 13, and reflect the purest childhood perceptions and reflections. Printed in children's handwriting, and illustrated by Hample with simple, witty paintings, this book makes a perfect gift for new parents, or--why not?--old parents, too! Dad feeling left out? Don't worry, we love you, too: take a look at Me and My Dad. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter
