Celebration of Motherhood

Celebration of Motherhood is a beautifully illustrated anthology of verse and prose. This lavishly illustrated and decorative collection brings together exquisite works of art that have been specially selected to accompany delightful pieces of verse and prose.

It is a book that commemorates and reveres the role of mothers in families and in society. This volume is the ideal gift for every mother of any age, and for children at any stage of their lives who remember their mothers with love and gratitude.

This charming anthology is a celebration and commemoration of motherhood—its joys and anxieties, its excitements and surprises, happiness and sorrow, sweetness, pain, laughter, and tears. The book is illustrated with beautiful paintings of mothers in all their glory, pictured with their children; nursing sleeping infants, feeding a lively family, playing with red-cheeked toddlers, and reading bedtime stories.

The quotations include poetry, letters, thoughts, and prose epiphanies from mothers, grandmothers, and children—whether grown offspring remembering their own mothers, or mothers exploring their feelings about childbirth, parenting, and special daughters and sons.

Often, everything that is good in us is passed on to us by our mothers, and our memories of our own mother infuse every act of love, generosity, and care throughout our lives.
