Description
A child describes the circle of her day, allowing us a glimpse into the loving and accepting bond that exists between a mother and child. Starting with breakfast together and followed by grocery shopping and a visit to the park, this lovely picture book shows a trusting relationship between a mother and her daughter.
Told simply and with humor, Into My Mother's Arms will feel immediately familiar to children and adults alike.
Sharon Jennings' text and Ruth Ohi's artwork offer a loving tribute to mothers and their daughters that is perfect for Mother's Day.
