AND NOW...THE FIRST PAGES (Click on the images to better read them...):

Esmé's Take: I like the little ballerina girl [with feather boa] the best!  I think my mom wants to be like the mom in the book.

What Mom Liked:

I think it is a great read for moms everywhere!  This is also the kind of book that would make a great gift for a daughter at a milestone of her life:  starting school, first date, starting college, getting married, having a baby, etc.

The spiritual focus of Mom’s prayers and whispers is lovely.  This is the type of book that reminds me of the kind of mom I want to be, and it gives me prompts of things to pray for my own daughter as she matures.

The illustrations are gorgeous and girl-friendly.  These were the main attraction for my daughter.

What Mom Didn't Like: 

Not so much a dislike as an observation – as the daughter matured in the book, my own daughter became less and less interested since she could relate less and less.  I think the book will be more and more appreciated as she grows older.
