You guys are going to want to hug me and squeeze me and call me George after this post. Are you looking for something unique, adorable, and beautifully understated for Mother’s Day this year? Well I’ve got it.
JC Little of The Animated Woman has just come out with a new book called Motherhood. You may recall her first book, The Last Snowman. Anyway, this new one is. . . well, I won’t divulge too much about it because I don’t want to wreck it. Let me just say:
- It’s made up entirely of her amazing illustrations.
- It’s like a poem without words that perfectly captures the parenting journey.
- It made me burst into tears in front of my computer.
You can get the hard copy and Kindle versions at Amazon. And the hard copy is also available at CreateSpace.
Having a child is like watching your heart walk around. And JC will show you that in her usual beautiful way. It’s just perfect for the women in your life who’ve given everything to the greatest and hardest job in the world.
Tammy Soong is a writer, wife, and mom from Reno, Nevada. She takes an absurd amount of pain medication, but not enough to have actually named her children "Newt" and "Elfie." She spends most days stressing out over clutter, writing stuff for this place, and working on podcasts with her gal pals, the Blogging Betties.
i’m kind of afraid to get it. i’m as big a softie as you are. i’ll be balling halfway through. love JC’s work. I have the Last SnowMan too.

Yeah, V, Mother’s Day. We’re gonna have to help you muscle through it this year. :'(

Thank-you for this Tammy. It’s really true that parenting is the greatest and hardest job in the world. Like we’re constantly cutting that cord…. sometimes I just need to cry that out.
ps. George!

Me too. It’s the only thing that helps. Thanks so much for writing this book — it’s a treasure.
I heard JC on the Betties podcast and started following her just after and saw this book. I was thinking about checking it out and Tammy’s review just got me to get off my bum and go order 2 copies from Amazon (for mom and MIL – I’ll probably have to go back and have my own copy too…). Can’t wait to get it!
