M is for Mom, written by Mary Ann McCabe Riehle and illustrated by Chris Ellison. Sleeping Bear Press, HB Fenn. 2010. $19.95 ages 4 and up



"A is for the Arms
that hug and hold me tight.
While in those arms I see your face
and know I'm in my favorite place."

Mother's Day is soon upon us!

"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
-Marion C Garretty"

This child's alphabet is filled with warm, loving images of children and their mothers. Each double-page spread boasts a poem for one or more alphabet letters, quotes from people famous or not, additional information and a lovely warm illustration of mothers, their children and the joy and love they share in a myriad of ways.

"I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine. She helps me grow, prosper,
and reach new heights. Adabella Radici"

It's a great way to get children thinking about the times they spend with mothers and grandmothers, aunts and other important women in their lives. A class book where everyone contributes an alphabet letter message, a photo from home, a quote about mothers and the things we do with them, or a personal illustration would make a lasting and most memorable...and very personal...gift this Mother's Day.

"Making memories is one of the best things moms and kids can do together, sharing special moments and milestones from A to Z and beyond."
