Mother and daughter

I borrowed this book from our local library for my 9-year old daughter because she likes to read poetry. She loved it. Then we read it together and I loved it. She now realizes that she is not the only one that gets grief from her mother about cleaning her room, having plenty to do when she's "bored", practicing the piano etc. I am going to buy this book for her and as a birthday gift for her friend. Every mother and daughter should own it.

Opposites Attract

Dear Mother, Dear Daughter : Poems for Young People by Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple is beautiful book that all mothers and daughters should read. The relationship between mother and daughter can be compared to the caterpillar and butterfly. Sometimes is can be ugly, but it has the potential to blossom into something beautiful. This book would make a great gift for Mother's Day, birth of a baby, or a graduation. This book will move you to tears as you remember your own journey through adolesence and learning to be friends with the best friend you'll could ever have.
