Before I Was Your Mother

What was your mother like before she was yours? This story shows what might have been. A delightful story of how mom has had a whole differnt life before you came around. A great read to share with your own child, or even your mom.

To Katie, it seems as if her mother has always been her mother, with her bills to pay and to-do lists--but in fact, her mother was once a little girl, just like Katie! Celebrate the joy of being a girl and the special love that mothers and daughters share.

A little girl discovers that her mom was once a child, too--one with spunk, creativity, and dreams of one day being a mother.
