WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, MOM allows children of all ages a way to express their gratitude for how much their mothers have done for them. There are fill-in-the-blank prompts along with checklists and spaces for photos and drawings which make each entry extra-special. There are sections that celebrate Early Days, Admiring You, Appreciating You, Enjoying Us, and My Wishes for You. In addition, there are some extra pages at the back of the journal to make the book even more personal.
As a mother, I can't even begin to express how much receiving a keepsake like WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, MOM would mean to me. I know my children love me (and sometimes appreciate me!), but we aren't the most expressive family. I have a feeling that we're not alone. Life is way too short not to tell our loved ones how much we appreciate them, and WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, MOM makes it easier for individuals to share their gratitude.
I think a photo of the journal is probably the best way to see how special this book truly is:
Thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy of this unique book.

Wow. That looks like a wonderful gift, especially for creative types.
What a great idea for a present! I would even go for one that said, "What I Love About You" (generally)!
I think Jill's idea is fantastic. They need to make one not just for mom's but anybody in your life that you love. This is awesome. And no, you are not alone, we are not all that expressive in our house as a rule. Too much teen angst and drama usually.
This is a wonderful gift idea!
What a lovely review! I just wanted to mention that there is also a version simply called "What I Love About You." It's intended for couples, but most of it would be just fine for a non-romantic loved one. www.marshallbooks.net
