In the perfect encore to her smashingly successful book THINGS I WANT MY DAUGHTERS TO KNOW, Alexandra Stoddard gives us a book for mothers that is at once inspirational, practical, and supportive. Don’t think if you are a good mother you will be happy. Be happy and you will be good at everything that is meaningful and valuable in your life. Raising a good child to become a good person is a most honorable goal that begins with a mother’s own inner transformation. In this wise little book Alexandra Stoddard not only celebrates what mothers know-and what we would like them to know-she encourages them to attend to their own happiness in the quest to become better mothers. >From giving overtly practical advice to taking a more philosophical approach, to offering a comforting pat on the back, Stoddard reaches out to mothers with words that will resonate with their own hopes and struggles. Stoddard gives us the perfect gift, a wonderful year-round present for every mother and mother-to-be.
