This review is from: Thanks to You: Wisdom from Mother & Child (Julie Andrews Collection) (Hardcover)

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.
