Book
We first meet Mom over a cup of coffee, clad in a floral robe. The robe is ever present as her child describes her wondrous abilities and traits. The ultimate message that shines forth is: “I love my mom. And you know what? SHE LOVES ME! (And she always will.)”

“With simplicity, strength, and complete understanding of children’s perceptions, Browne uses the voice of an unseen child to praise one mother – and, by extension, all moms.” – Booklist

“The sentiment is so pure that this tale will be a beloved addition to a family’s repertoire of stories to treasure.” – Kirkus Reviews

Praise for My Mom

"With simplicity, strength, and complete understanding of children's perceptions, Browne uses the voice of an unseen child to praise one mother - and by extension, all moms. As always, Browne's paintings hold attention...and the honesty of the narrator's emotions and Mom's devotion shine through." -- Booklist

"Browne crafts a heart-warming testimony to mothers. The sentiment is so pure that this tale will be a beloved addition to a family's repertoire of stories to treasure." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This loving tribute is sure to be a hit with parents and children at storytimes and for one-on-one sharing." -- School Library Journal
