Book Description

April 2007
"Mothers . . . care for, cultivate, attend to, watch over, look after, nurse, hug and kiss, count to ten, irritate us, get all mushy, make us proud, wash behind our ears . . .

We don't need a dictionary; for most of us "mother" is the first word we ever learn. And besides being the name we call out when we're sick, afraid, or proud of our accomplishments, mother is a verb. So here's to mothers and everything they do.

Snappy, not sappy! Mother Is a Verb is a beautiful, sweet, sometimes quirky, tribute to mom-hood that features quotes paired with mom-verb sayings. Each spread celebrates something mothers do!

"To give quickly is a great virtue" is a Hindu Proverb that's paired with the truth we all know: "Mothers know what we need before we know it ourselves." And "The patience of a mother might be likened to a tube of toothpaste--it's never quite all gone" is shown opposite "Mothers squeeze us and we squeeze `em right back." Have truer words ever been spoken?

* A tribute to always moving, doing, going-the-extra-mile moms!

* A stylish gift for any mother--from new moms to grandmoms--for any occasion and just in time for Mother's Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet for a new mom, May 4, 2007
By 
This review is from: Mother Is a Verb (Hardcover)
I am a new mom of twins and I received this book as a gift. It is a sweet, light-hearted tribute to all the things that moms do. I also thought the colors were lovely. I came on-line to order a copy for another friend who is a new mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars less is more!, May 7, 2007
This review is from: Mother Is a Verb (Hardcover)
These days it feels like life is so busy there's no time for anything... and the only things that sell are BIGGER! LOUDER! FLASHIER! But this lovely little book was given to me as a gift and was such a welcome moment of calm I plan on giving it to all the mamma's I know. From the graceful and simple design, to the sentiments inside I enjoyed the respite for the mad world that Ms. Parker's book provided. I highly recomend this as a gift for any mother who could use a moment of peace in their day!

5.0 out of 5 stars simple and wonderful, May 3, 2007
By 
This review is from: Mother Is a Verb (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful and fun gift that perfectly represents the simple activeness that is motherhood. I'm so happy I gave to my mom as an early mother's day gift - and she went out and bought five copies to give to her friends.
