Without being sappy, Julie Andrews and her daughter share the mutual wisdom gained by mother and child. The timeless photos are from their extended family album. A great gift for Mother's Day or a new mom.

My wife is a Julie Andrews fan, and that was enough to recommend this book. The book reflects on a mother's relationship with her child, and all that she comes to learn while "seeing" the world with a "child's eyes."

My wife loved the book. It makes for a wonderful gift.
