Even Better Than Expected
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.
Wonderful Book!
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!
An Honest and Touching Book
What a wonderful book! This captures the very essence of what a real mother is, regardless of how she became one.
A Message for Every Child
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.
Hats off to ALL who take on the hardest job in the world!
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.
You don’t need to be a birth mother to love and cherish a child.
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.
Makes a wonderful gift!
A beautifully written and illustrated book, no matter what kind of Mother you are! Makes a wonderful gift!
A lovely gift!
Wise words, charming illustrations, and a universal message about motherhood. The perfect gift!
Wonderful Book
What an incredible book! The passion and message behind this reading is very well written and descriptive of the true meaning of raising our precious children. The author radiates a message of a mother’s real and everlasting commitment to her children – through all phases of their upbringing — and is well-defined. The lessons we teach our children in developing them as adults begins at a very early age and this book describes those details with great illustrations and simplicity — exemplifying what is most important in the role of a mother. Interestingly enough, motherhood, no matter how it is achieved and the beauty in the family circle that we call life, parallels to the same ending….a good mother seeks the happiness and success of their children no matter how their journey begins. I feel the author has captured much of this with the greatest of simplicity. I hope many appreciate the true meaning!!
A Mom’s sacrificial love ♥️
When you choose to become a mother, whether you adopt or have children biologically, you don’t receive any training Manual on the different responsibilities and roles that a Mother provides. This is a heartwarming read & a blessing for all moms to read about their importance and the loving sacrifices they make daily for 20 plus years or maybe a lifetime! This book was very validating to me & to my experience of all that being a Mom entails. ♥️ Thank you for writing this beautiful book. 💐💐💐
To be a mother is to love
A Real Mother is a compassionate and lovely book for any mother, any child, or anyone that has experienced or given the love that a mother shares. Whether we give birth biologically, adopt, foster, or just care for a child that needs motherly love, a real mother is anyone that fills the shoes of parent, teacher, guardian, and protector. This sweet and thoughtfully illustrated children’s book illuminates the amazing love a real mother gives to her child. A Real Mother would make a wonderful gift to any mom welcoming a child into her life.
A Heartwarming Read
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.
A Wonderful Gift for Role Models!
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!

An important message, very well written, and it illustrates what it means to be a real mother for either adoptive or biological parents.

A Book I Have Been Looking For
This is a simple and well-written book with beautiful and expressive illustrations. It is a book I have been looking for, because it is suitable for all mothers and children whether they be biological or adopted. Without mentioning adoption, this book includes this process, by showing the love between a mother and her child. It defines this relationship as one borne of love, regardless of race or sexual orientation.

An important message of love.
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.
It has such a positive message
This story is wonderful for an expectant mom, for an adoptive mother, for a mother to be read to a child for reassurance and love, or for a mother or grandmother to think back on her life raising her family. It has such a positive message and it felt good just reading it. I have read it again and again. It will be my gift of choice to pass along this thoughtful book and know that it is a story of any mother’s love and good parental knowledge
sweet and heartfelt
Book is very sweet and heartfelt and speaks to all moms about what it takes to be a real mother! The illustrations are beautiful!
A Labor of Love
Such a lovely book – a labor of love. Makes a nice gift as well.
Directed to all mothers
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.
