Description
From first cries to first motherhood, this heartwarming tribute to the mother-daughter bond is the perfect Mother's Day gift for the one who always answers the call.
When you're hungry, when you're sad,
When you don't know why you're mad,
Goo ga! Ma ma! Call your mother.
From life's messy beginnings to the milestones of adulthood, there's one person who is always our first call: our mother. Whether it's for a scraped knee, a broken heart, or the overwhelming joy-and exhaustion-of holding your own first child, Mom is the keeper of our triumphs, the healer of our hurts, and the constant, steady voice on the other end of the line.
Following a mother and daughter through the seasons of life, Call Your Mother is a lyrical and moving celebration of motherhood and the timeless bond between mother and daughter. With gorgeous illustrations and a relatable refrain, this is the perfect gift for the mothers or grandmothers in your life who always answer the call-because you are never too old to need your mother.
