3.5: Egads, a sweet idea, but one that might end with you feeling like no mother could live up to the whole of this book. I think I may need to cut out a few choice pages and give those to my mom instead.

This book made me tear up. I’m a flight attendant, rarely ever home anymore, but I send postcards and “thinking of you” cards to mom often. This year I will be mailing this book to her… as her Mother’s Day card. I’m sure she’ll FaceTime me as soon as I’m out of airplane mode. This book is a wonderful tribute! I love you mom!!!

Pt. 3
Very simple, nice art, “Because of you, I have someone who believes in me.”

chorei do inicio ao fim. minha mae chorou do inicio ao fim. desde então ela deixa o livro com a capa virada pra cama pra ser a primeira coisa que ela vê quando acorda e a última quando ela vai dormir. isso diz tudo

Well, this is absolutely adorable. My brother gave it to my mom for Christmas, and I had to read it out loud because it made her cry (in a happy way).

I read this book to my mom, and we both cried. The words and illustrations are so sweet and capture much of what I wanted to express to my dearest mother.

hit me hard, very powerful, I even called my mom ritght after I fininshed reading. However, mom didn't seem to relate to it. She asked why you called me after reading it lol

This is a sweet ode to a mother - likely created to appeal to those buying a Mother's Day present. The narrative is short and the anthromorphized bear illustrations are cute. Not much to it.

Cute book. It was given as a gift for Mothers Day to a family member. It has very nice illustrations and a sweet message.

I bought this book on the recommendation of a very kind bookseller for a beloved niece’s baby shower. I cried reading it. Highly recommend. 💕

Amo livros com essa linguagem profunda. É como uma dedicatória. Uma declaração de amor. Presentearia minha mãe fácil, fácil com esse livro...
