Sweet and touching sentiments

Not only is this book appropriate as a gift for your mom, but I bought one for my two young daughters to keep for when they grow up. The gently soft pictures depict all the special moments shared between a mother and a child, from star gazing to trick or treating. I especially love the final page where we are reminded that our mothers have loved us "before anyone else" as when we were just tiny babies. Very appropriate for gift giving and keepsaking. We will treasure our copy.

The best Gift Idea!!!

I first read this book in the store and i cried my eyes out!!! (in a good way... girls you know what i mean!) It is a beautiful way to tell your mother just how importent she is to you. I think that every mother should get one as a gift!!

A truely special book for MOM

This book is so touching it will probably make you well up with tears at the thought of your own mom! Becky Kelly's art work is amazing! This would make a great Mothers Day or Birthday gift and is well worth the price...especially knowing that your mom will cherish this for many years! I also recommend any other book by Becky Kelly...especially Little Birthday Wishes. This one is great to give to girls of all ages!!

What a sweet little book!

My mother gave me the moon and this adorable book! Each page has one of Becky Kelly's beautiful watercolor illustrations and a sweet note about the woman in our lives that we all hold so dear - our mother. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wonderful sense of color and design - a hallmark of Becky's artwork. This tiny treasure makes a perfect addition to my growing collection of Becky Kelly books and journals. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this tiny book that I will treasure forever.

My Mother Gave Me The Moon

I originally got this book for myself because of the exquisite illustrations. If you are familiar with Becky Kelly, you know how beautiful her art is. Just looking at the pictures takes me back to my wonderful childhood. However, after I read it, I had to give it to my mom for Mother's Day because everything in it is my mom! She also loved it - it left a tear in her eye! If you want to give a gift that will really touch a mom's heart, this is it.
