Our number one pick? Mother: A Cradle to Hold Me, by Maya Angelou, where the one of the most infamous female poets of modern day shares poems about motherhood.
You can go with a more serious toned books such as Mom & Me & Mom, by Maya Angelou, where the legendary author shares a very personal story: the story of her relationship with her own mother.
This book, A Letter to My Mom, shares letters of gratitude to moms from celebrities and regular folks who say what you, perhaps, can't find the words to say. It’s a great coffee table book, too.
For a more humorous approach, here’s another book suggestion. What started out as posting a few photos of his son online, mid-tantrum for a variety of ridiculous reasons that all parents can relate to such as, “the neighbor’s dog isn’t outside” or “I let him play on the grass,” parents everywhere started to relate – and contribute. Parents of all ages will appreciate this hilarious book, Reasons My Kid is Crying, by Greg Pembroke, whether they have toddlers now or have had toddlers in the past.
