Celebrated illustrator, veteran mother, and beloved daughter Mary Engelbreit has created a beautiful and poignant tribute to the one woman most deserving of our affection and gratitude-Mom! Motherhood has been an endless source of inspiration for Mary's art since she joined the ranks of the weary but willing. Mothers are their children's nurturers, heroes, booboo fixers, cheerleaders, confidantes, entertainers, and first loves. No one is as adept at depicting these many facets of motherhood as Mary Engelbreit. In this beautifully produced keepsake-with its cloth cover, gilded edges, quality paper, and ribbon marker-you'll find excerpts from classic literature such as Little Women, contemporary prose from authors such as Alice Walker and Anna Quindlen, beloved songs and lullabies, and for the first time ever, the true story of Ann Estelle, including family photographs. Mary has liberally illustrated this treasury edition with never before published art. Every fan of Mary Engelbreit will want this classic for their own collection-and several extras for the mothers and grandmothers in their lives.

This review is from: Mother O' Mine (Hardcover)
This Mother's Day 1999 I received this book and it is filled with wonderful thoughts about mom. The art work is great. So many things I wish I had thought to tell mom all in one tiny book.

This review is from: Mother O' Mine: A Mother's Treasury (Hardcover)
I was lucky enough to get this book for Mother's Day. What a beautiful treasure it is! This solid hardcover has a satiny ribbon mounted in the binding to mark your place & it's page edges are shimmery gold. It's loaded with the whimsical art of Mary Engelbreit along with lots of stories and poems written by multiple authors. This is one of the most delightfully beautiful books. I feel fortunate in owning it and will derive hours of pleasure from it. When the day grows hectic, it's a delight to pick it up and remind yourself of what really matters in life. It would make a wonderful gift for your mother or any special mother you know, even a new mom. A truly wonderful book!
