A mother is a house by Aurore Petit

A mother is a house is written by French author Aurore Petit and has been translated into English. It is a smaller picture book which would be perfect for sharing with younger children. It covers all aspects of a mother's role in the life of her baby and toddler with simple rhyming text and vividly coloured illustrations. A mother is many things to her young child and this book very clearly encompasses many of these important attributes. While the title feels rather bland and unappealing, the sentiments expressed in the book will resonate with both children and mothers alike.

An interesting gift for a new mother or Mother's Day.

Themes: Mothers, Children, Family.
