My copy of “A Real Mother” finally arrived. I know the author personally, so I was anticipating a great book but this was even better than expected. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book for mothers and mothers-to-be.

A wonderful book that illustrates all that a mother can and should do for her child while raising him or her. Read it to my children, ages 7 and 3, and they loved it, as well as the illustrations. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful book! This captures the very essence of what a real mother is, regardless of how she became one.

I loved this children’s book and the illustrations are darling.

The message being sent is very good and needs to be said. May these women be recognized for what they are as the real mother.

That is the message I get from this book. It matters not how you came to be a mother, but that you ARE a mother. It is a validation to moms and their, our children alike.

This is an enjoyable, positive book. An excellent read for all mothers, grandmothers and children. The author did a beautiful job expressing and illustrating her thoughts and feelings about motherhood.

A beautifully written and illustrated book, no matter what kind of Mother you are! Makes a wonderful gift!

Wise words, charming illustrations, and a universal message about motherhood. The perfect gift!

What an excellent book to read and to give others. Sometimes we all need to be reminded of the importance of motherhood. This is a lovely read and a thought-provoking book, reminding us all that love is the basic ingredient no matter how or why we became parents I highly recommend it.

This is a sweet, beautiful book celebrating motherhood and all the things real mothers do. I have given it as a baby shower gift several times, but it’s fitting for lots of other special occasions. I highly recommend!

I am so glad this book was recommended to me. I love the illustrations, and I love what it has to say about being a mother. This book would be great for children, parents, and really anyone else.

This book is a comforting reminder that unique families are beautiful and should be celebrated.

This is a powerful and honest message about the many roles that mothers play in their children’s lives. An uplifting story for both parents and children.

A lovely book about the true essence of motherhood, and the care that goes into raising a child. I wish everyone could have the opportunity to read this book, and come away with a deeper appreciation for what it means to be a mom.

This is a beautifully written book with an important message to both children and mothers. It comes from a warm heart, is beautifully illustrated and provides many teachable moments.

I recommend this book for children and mothers to learn how special their relationship can be.

This is a very well-written and beautifully illustrated little book. It is a great book for all moms everywhere to read and share with their children – instructive for both and reinforcing of their bond. Dads will enjoy and benefit from it also. A great find!

An important message of love. Real mothers play an important role in the future of our society–raising children with love will enable children to grow into loving adults. And the cycle will continue. The beautiful illustrations enhance the message of inclusivity–love unites us.

Such a lovely book – a labor of love. Makes a nice gift as well.

The story is directed to all mothers and states what a “real mother” is based on desirable traits. Think of the good qualities a mother brings to her child’s development. “A Real Mother” is a primer to mothering. This would be so helpful for a new mother to read and embrace the concepts.
