A contemporary and original gift book, celebrating modern motherhood and mothers. The Times Children’s Book of the Week. In this eye-catching, neon-bright picture book, a baby sees their mother in every aspect of their day from birth to first steps.
A mother's a house, She's a car in a rush, She's a lullaby hush. As the pages go by, the child grows. The mother becomes a road, a story and a show, the illustrations at times literal, unexpected. On the final page, the child is ready to take their first steps. Because a mother is a home that you carry inside you forever. Offering a unique baby’s eye view of the first year, A Mother is a House contains all of the funny observations and emotions of a mother and child’s first year together―shown through bright, modern illustrations and special inks. A chic and stylish gift book for expectant parents, baby showers, new moms, mother’s day, or as a celebratory gift for daughters and grandparents.
