Each personal essay reflects on how the writer's mother instilled in them the special values of love, understanding, self-sacrifice, and hard work. Complementing the essays are sixty illustrations by nationally-known artists and cartoonists. Decorated pages offer the reader - or giver - a place to write about a special memory of his or her own mother.
