Chicken Soup for the Soul released Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Mom in March 2010, just in time for Mother’s Day. Included in this book are 101 stories of gratitude, love and good times with mom.
I love my mom and I love being Baby Bird’s mom. There’s no feeling in the world as strong as a mother’s love for her child and the stories included here capture that feeling.
Here is a brief description of this book (taken from Amazon.ca): Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Mom(Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, March 23 2010) A mother’s job is never done, but in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Mom, she gets the praise she deserves. Children of all ages share their words of thanks in these touching, heartfelt stories. Thanks Mom will bring any mother joy, inspiration, and humor and show her that the kids were paying attention after all.
I enjoyed reading through this book and found one story that reminded me of my mother. More so it also described the mother that I hope to be for Baby Bird. It is written by Elizabeth Atwater and is titled “Somebody to Turn the Rope”. It is about a mother who realized the importance of spending time with her children over keeping her house spotless. The author describes perfectly the point of view of the child that benefited from her mother’s desire to really be a part of her child’s life as she was growing up.
Still looking to get the woman who gave you life something for Mother’s Day? I suggest picking up this book. You can also write your own story about what she means to you and include it with the book.
This is available for purchase online from Amazon.ca for $12.24 or Amazon.com for $10.17.
