Book Description
The poems in this collection are about mothers and their children, both from the child's perspective and the mother's. Ranging in subject from a child walking in her mother's comforting, protective shadow to a ten-year-old girl wondering if her mother was a freak when she was ten years old to a mother holding her infant son, these poems touch on all aspects of the mother/child relationship. Here is "Mother's Heart": My mother's heart is a bottle I want to fill with warm milk to soothe her hurts with honey to trap her bitterness with a squirt of Tabasco - Shake her up! Inspired by her memories of her mother and her own role as a mother of a young son, these poems, skillfully illustrated in full color by Jennifer Hewitson, create an honest portrait of timeless human connections. Sometimes funny, sometimes sarcastic, always sensitive, the poems will find a ready audience among young people.

Book Description
When a child paints their nails with their mom's nail polish, they discover the most important thing of all: the magic of being their true self. As the long late summer day stretches ahead of them, a child eagerly looks forward to their favorite time--painting-your-nails time. They know that when they dip into those magical bottles of nail polish, they will discover a color to express their every mood and feeling. Purple is the color of magic and mystery. White is the color of endless possibilities. At times, their Papa frowns and says, "What have you done to your nails?" At other times, he says, "Why don't you paint on paper instead?" But the child knows that painting their nails makes their hands look beautiful. An inclusive celebration of creative expression, this color-filled story celebrates the joy of finding out who you are and the courage it takes to be yourself.
