Summary:

A delightful book to give Mom to prove you DID listen to her advice, wit, and wisdom.
  If you want a special way to celebrate your mother, look no more! Eat Your Peas® Mom is a 3-minute read with a forever message. Upon opening this little package, her heart will smile through the pages filled with affirmation, appreciation, and gratitude expressed for all the ways she loves and cares for you. Each page is artfully hand-illustrated for a charming and homespun feel. It's a perfect keepsake and reminder for Mom to hold onto forever.

My Review:

In this book, Cheryl does a wonderful job of putting into words what every child feels for their mother.  They do so much, and often times they overlooked.  But, in the end, our mothers are the ones who stand by us through thick and thin and are our biggest supporters.  They are always there cheering us on, wiping away our tears, or just lending an ear.  Without them, we would not become the people we are today.  

If you are looking for just the right gift, which will put into words everything that you wish your mom knew about how much you care and appreciate her, then this is the book for you.  I just love Cheryl's Eat Your Peas series, and they offer inspiration and show the love we feel for those most important to us in a great way.  Her books are truly keepsakes that will be cherished and read over and over again for years to come.
