I felt you. You were a pea. Then a lemon. Then an eggplant...
In this beautiful celebration of motherhood, the universal message of unconditional love for a child shines through.
Laurenne Sala's heartwarming text, accompanied by New York Times bestselling artist Robin Preiss Glasser's charming illustrations, creates a sweet and intimate look at the powerful bond between mother and child from pregnancy to birth and beyond.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sala debuts with an ode to motherhood adapted from text she wrote for a video ad for a baby carrier company. The book retains much of the casual, lightly irreverent language of the source material ("I felt you," it begins. "You were a pea. Then a lemon. Then an eggplant"), though comments about parenting's more frustrating moments have been softened slightly. In her customarily breezy ink-and-watercolor artwork, Fancy Nancy illustrator Glasser focuses on the relationship between one mother and child a willowy blond woman and her son which sharpens the visual narrative as the boy grows into an active, independent child, but also feels at odds with the universality of the text. Ages 4 8.
