Poems About Mothers From tenth-century Japan's Izumi Shikibu, colonial America's Anne Bradstreet, and Victorian England's Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Israel's Yehuda Amichai, Ireland's Paul Muldoon, and Russia's Anna Akhmatova, poets across the centuries and around the world have immortalized this elemental relationship. Among the more than seventy poets in this anthology, Audre Lorde recalls "How the days went / While you were blooming within me"; Jorie Graham muses on her mother's sewing box; Allen Ginsberg says goodbye in "Kaddish"; and Langston Hughes invokes a mother's empowering example- "Don't you fall now- / For I'se still goin', honey, / I'se still climbin', / And life for me ain't been no crystal stair." From Emily Bronte's "Upon Her Soothing Breast" and Seamus Heaney's "Mother of the Groom" to Sylvia Plath's "Morning Song" and Frank O'Hara's "Ave Maria," the more than one hundred poems collected here enshrine the miracle of motherhood and the richness of feeling and experience it inspires.

One of the books that is an epitome of this statement is Motherhood. Motherhood is a picture book that depicts the bond between mother and child. No words are used at all throughout the book.
The author does a terrific job with the illustrations. She has a knack of using the simplest technique to capture such universal expressions, like joy, confusion and sadness. I also liked the progression of the heart (child): from when it crawled to when it began walking and gaining a sense of independence.
This is one of those book that touches the heart. Whether you are a parent that wants to share a greatly illustrated work with a message or if you are a youthful spirit that wants to celebrate and reminisce over the process, JC Little has successfully crafted a work that has universal appeal. ( )
