Mothers Are Like Miracles: They Make Everything Possible

When a child is born, a miracle happens — someone becomes a mother!

For first-time mothers or beloved veterans, this warm, delightful book captures all the joy and humor of one of a woman's most wonderful experiences. Heartwarming observations from such famous names as Oprah Winfrey, Nora Ephron, and Agatha Christie, poems to copy and stick on the refrigerator; words of advice from kids of all ages to "accidentally" leave on a mother's kitchen table; suggestions to smooth the rough times or increase the joy — it's all here to read and treasure.

This treasure trove of charming black-and-white illustrations, poems to post on the refrigerator, words of advice to pass on from one generation to the next, and suggestions for smoothing life's rough edges is guaranteed to warm the hearts of both longtime and new mothers.
