How to Choose the Right Book for Mum

Every mum is unique, as is every child. Here are some tips to find the perfect book:

• Child’s age: from board books to first picture books, the choice should match the child’s listening and participation abilities.

• Type of mother-child bond: if the mum works a lot, choose books about waiting and returning; for adoptive mums, stories about love beyond biological ties.

• Child’s taste: some children love funny stories, others poetic or realistic ones. Listen to them!

A good Mother’s Day book is one that celebrates the uniqueness of each mother-child relationship.
