I was given this book by Julie Andrews and I watched her autograph it right in front of me. It was not one of my finer moments, considering the way I stammered and could hardly speak. Let me just say everything about her is "practically perfect" and leave it at that.

This book by Julie Andrews [Edwards] shows photographs and short verses that celebrate the life lessons that mothers and children learn from one another.

[Mommywest · Rating 4 out of 5]

Julie Andrews Edwards (yes, that Julie Andrews...) and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, collaborated to create this sweet book that explores the relationship between mother and child in poem-form. Accompanied by photos of their extended family, and a few photos of the mother-daughter author team, Julie and Emma's poetry shows us how, in their words, "our mothers have shaped us, but our children define us." A beautiful book for moms to share with their children or to reflect on alone.
