A little child walks to us through all the jobs mommy has. He celebrates all the different jobs his mom has from chef to historian to security guard, no job is too small or too big for mom. Too often the work of a mother is overlooked in our fast-paced, competitive culture or taken for granted, this book bolsters a mother’s raison d'etre and opens a child’s eyes to the nuances of mom’s work.
This tribute to mothers is written by Leslie Yeransian Dolsak and features warm and cozy illustrations by Ekaterina Filyakova. gives mothers the much-needed encouragement that -- no matter how mundane, routine or small -- their daily work serves to create better children and a better society.
I just picked-up an autographed copy of the “Woman Who Raised Buddha,” by Wendy Garling, what an amazing read. Mothers are too often forgotten about or blamed for everything that has gone wrong in a child’s life. As we approach Mother’s Day this is a beautiful tribute to mothers – and in Buddha’s case a mother who is not even his biological mother, but a woman, Mahaprajapati, his aunt, who stepped into his life when his mother died.
