We first meet Mom over a cup of coffee, clad in a floral robe. The robe is ever present as her child describes her wondrous abilities and traits. The ultimate message that shines forth is: “I love my mom. And you know what? SHE LOVES ME! (And she always will.)”
“With simplicity, strength, and complete understanding of children’s perceptions, Browne uses the voice of an unseen child to praise one mother – and, by extension, all moms.” – Booklist
“The sentiment is so pure that this tale will be a beloved addition to a family’s repertoire of stories to treasure.” – Kirkus Reviews
PW said of Anthony Browne's My Dad, "With well-measured doses of hyperbole, sentiment and humor, Browne delivers an endearing paean to patriarchs." In the companion, My Mom, Browne similarly salutes mothers. "My mom's a... brilliant juggler," reads one caption, as she literally "juggles" images of a purse, car, house and teddy bear. Dad's robe was plaid, Mom's is flowered, which nicely segues into an homage to her green thumb-and fingers. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

My Mom
The young narrator of this sweet, heartwarming picture-book tribute to mothers describes his own mom's many wonderful qualities, from her skills as cook and juggler to her butterfly-like beauty and armchair-like comfiness. He concludes with the declaration that he loves his mom, and that she loves him, and always will...
Originally published in the UK as My Mum, this lovely picture-book is a companion to Anthony Browne's earlier My Dad , and is formatted in much the same way. A series of descriptions of the narrator's mom is paired with imaginative artwork depicting her as various animals and objects. In the scene in which the child describes his mother as having the beauty of a butterfly, for instance, she appears in that form, as a butterfly with the same print design as the shirt mom is wearing on other pages. Visually striking and textually engaging, My Mom is a book I would recommend to anyone looking for reassurance tales for younger children - yes, mother will always love you - or for stories about mothers in general.
