About This Book

In this elegant expression of wisdom and love, mothers around the world share life's simplest yet important lessons with their sons. With paintings by the Dillons, these moments of sharing are profound, engrossing, and a tender display of hope and trust, strength and support.

Never heavy-handed, Mama Says teaches the universal importance of kindness, sharing, diligence, and faith, along with the importance of courage and a willingness to always try your best. Here is the perfect gift book for any mother — as a baby gift, a holiday gift, a birthday gift, a Mother's Day gift, or just as a way to say "I love you."
