This book follows the same format as the many "Chicken Soup For the Soul Books" that I love! I enjoyed this particular version because it was written for mothers and since I am a NEW mom, I enjoyed reading the sweet stories of inspiring mothers and recollections from others about what they remember the most about their mothers. There were some very touchy and emotional selections that made me cry and others that were very humorous and reminded me that there will be times that I will just have to laugh at myself as a mother, because we ALL make mistakes from time to time! The stories were easy to read and then close the book until I had time to read another short one. The poems were particularly touching and I really enjoyed those. This little book was just a joy to read and I think it helped to read about how other mothers struggled with their desires to be the PERFECT mother and to realize that NO ONE is the perfect mother.....we all just have to do the best we can and love our children! We can't compare ourselves to others and strive to be some "SUPER MOM" that only exists in our overly-active imaginations. Definitely a great book to read!!!
