Dear Mom Thank You For Everything

by Bradley Trevor Greive

Dear Mom strikes at the heart of many mother-child relationships, perfectly capturing those most prevalent emotions that good moms love, affection, and sincere gratitude. "I'd be lost without you, Mom, and I only wish I had more than one lifetime to repay the incredible debt I owe you."

Sometimes it's hard to find the right words to tell Mom just how you feel. How can you adequately thank her for all her selfless acts of love and tireless devotion? Bradley Trevor Greive's book, Dear Mom , will help children of all ages (especially those who call themselves grown-ups) express those special thoughts and feelings in tenderly honest words and pictures. A poignant tribute to mothers everywhere, Dear Mom artfully combines touching animal photographs with gentle humor and heartfelt words of thanks. This sweet volume will let moms know just how much all their efforts are appreciated and how much they are truly loved.

Reviews

[DelGal]

This "thanks to mom" has a wonderful selection of candid black and white animal photos in it which is better than the actual purpose of the book - to thank mom for being the greatest mom ever. While the words are cute and are often related to the animal pictures, they seem a bit generic and blah.

[Ronja Persson]

My relationship with my mom isn’t the best, but the book was cute

[Lynda]

This was a book that was given to me by my oldest daughter many years ago. Every so often I pull it out and read it. A daughter or son letting their mom know how much they are loved with reminders of times spent as a young child with mom. Black and white photos of many animals sharing love with mom. A cute book to remind us that even when we make mistakes raising our children they understand we (moms) are not perfect.

Simpatična knjižica sa slikama, za pročitati u 15 slobodnih minuta s kojima ne znate što ćete. :)

[Ricardo Abreu]

Um livro belíssimo. Emocionante. Profundamente escrito com gratidão a todas as mães que já fizeram tudo e mais por seus filhos. O autor não falha em nos tocar das formas mais profundas que poderíamos imaginar.

[Brooke]

This book is wonderful. Every mom needs a copy of this book. It says all the things you wish you could say about loving her and it apologizes for all the worry and time you stole. Each page has a picture of a single animal or baby animals with their mom.

[Addie]

Funny & cute.

[Cora]

Well, I just had a mini cry session. Ahh. I love my mama so much! Can't wait to gift her this book. 💘

Esse livro é muito fofo. Dei para minha mãe no ano passado, e ela amou.
As fotos são muito fofas, e o texto é divertido.

[Geo Hendrick]

There is nothing better when you are sick in bed and your son gives you a book to read. It makes you feel loved and just a little bit better too! Thanks Bradley I needed this!

[Joanne Murray]

This is a cute book. All photos were the perfect choice for what was being said.

[Alison]

This was a gift from my daughter, and what a charming delightful book!

[Lanna Jean]

so cute I bought this for my mom for Mother’s Day. I hope she likes it!

[Joy]

Recommended as a good mother's day present.

[Larissa]

This is another one I will not judge. With the same identity as Meaning of Life, the pictures and phrases are adorable, I gave this book for my mom, a gift for Mother's Day and she loved and cried while was reading it. Me too, I must admit. It touches our hearts because shows us the beauty of being and having a mother, in the simplest, cutest and funniest way, with short sentences in every page, but so true and so accurate. The book is basically a huge thanks to mother and I thought that was really really lovely.

[Brenda]

Love these little books...the photos are amazing, the little quotes under the photos are inspirational! This one, and Dear Dad: Father, Friend, and Hero are lovely books to read.....a wonderful series, and beautiful gifts..

[Dolly]

I got this book from my Grandmother's "estate," or the box of stuff that we got from the nursing home. I'm not sure who gave it to her, but I read the book thinking of my Grandmother and being a Mom myself, and it made me smile. The pictures are cute and the captions are meaningful.

[Allison]

adorable animal pictures--a Mother's Day gift

[Viv]

When you feel the need to look at cute animals, this hits the spot, although I did find p19 a bit bizarre, not being a dog person!

[Monica Batiz]

Hay que leerlo con una caja de pañuelos a un lado!

[Connie]

A gift from Jeff, he left it on the table for me one week after he had been watching the dogs. I love it, and he even signed the front.

Keya liked it so much, I bought one for her.

[Juliet Ezati]

[Tanya]

This is a super sweet book! It makes a great present for Moms.

[Lorna]

Very sweet.

[Daniel Taylor]

Heartwarming, tender and funny. It explains why mums matter -- just in case they didn't know it already.
