My Mom is a wonderfully sweet story of a young girl explaining all of the reasons why her mother is amazing. From imaginative adventures to days running through the woods, we get a glimpse into the fun, comfort, and love shared between the two! The illustrations are equally as sweet. The story itself is also inclusive in two understated but important aspects: it's implied that the daughter was adopted, and there is a visible physical disability throughout (that is clearly shown to not impact the mom's awesomeness at all!)
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! This is a heartwarming story about all the adventures a child and their mom go on. It shows a healthy child mother relationship. The illustrations are well done too! Moms are amazing!

It’s a cute book. Seems like a kid wrote it but the drawings are sweet. My daughter enjoyed it. Thank you NetGalley for the arc.

This was a super cute and quick read. The illustrations were adorable and creative. It was relatable to the relationship I’m trying to build with my toddler and inspired me to continue on making his life fun and imaginative while showing him so much love.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – words & pictures through NetGalley.
Charming and encouraging story about all that moms do. This young girl shares everything she and her mom do together. Mom handles every situation with love and makes her feel safe and warm. The artwork captures the love and joy in this relationship. A perfect gift for moms on Mother's Day to remind them how special they are.

A very quick beautiful story about the mother-daughter bond, highly recommend for those with little ones.

Super cute book! I enjoyed reading this to my daughter however she got bored after the fourth page. Not really meant for 3 year olds but I enjoyed it at least!

One of those books designed to confirm love between parent and child, this one features a mother selflessly giving of what seems like all her time and more to be with her daughter. It's this mother, and nobody else, who does open stuffing surgery on Teddy, dreams up imaginative play in the back garden, goes on hikes, invents bedtime adventure stories, and so on. The book is from the point of view of the thankful child, and so this is geared as a gift to the older generation. Which kind of makes it an extended Mother's Day card. Me? I can only think such a thing is a niche product, when such cards ought to be able to say the same thing more cheaply and in fewer words and less space – oh, and that seaweed hairbands must really be quite pongy.

This story is very cute and shows the importance of being a mom to the child. I also liked the illustrations.

This is the sweetest story for moms and kids alike. Being in the thick of my second post-partum it is easy to feel like I'm not seen, but this story reminds us of all that we do as moms and how our kiddos see up. My children were a dream that I thought would never come for a good portion of my life, much like the mom in the book. The ending made me tear up, because when your kids can't tell you they love you yet, it's nice to know they do in their own way. I will bet getting this story for all the moms in my life.

Just the cutest book. So sweet, about a girl and her mom. Beautiful illustrations and just overall heart warming.

Indeed Mom can fix everything 🥹❤️
Such a beautiful ode to the priceless mother-daughter bond! The illustrations are stunning and I love the imagery of the prose. A timeless read brimming with warmth and love.

In love with this book! The art is absolutely gorgeous and the story, heart-touching. Would recommend it to those who enjoy their relationship with their moms, who would like to refresh or rekindle with their moms, and who are moms themselves. Would love a physical copy!

This is an emotionally charged book about a mother and her child. This is perfect for the mother who dreams of her child long before her child enters her life.

My toddler loved this! I honestly loved it too! This book was a quick read that kept my 2.5 yo’s interest. The illustrations were incredibly vibrant and fun. The topic, while not revolutionary, was so sweet and heartwarming. This book would make a fabulous baby shower gift!

Thanking Susan Quinn, Sarah Mathew, Quarto Publishing Group, and Netgalley for the sneak preview of this Children’s Picture Book. Read on for a review of this title.
This short picture book is a celebration of typical, hands-on mothers. It serves as a great reminder to both parent and child of just how amazing a mum can be. As a mother myself, it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside looking at the awe of all I do through the eyes of my children because although a little unnamed girl tells the story, she could just as easily be one of my sons talking about me.
The book conjures up wild pictures to complement a child’s wild imagination about such simple activities such as having a picnic, painting pictures, and making snowmen. I liked that the language was simple and lacked rhyme and embellishments. The pictures were also complimentary of the scenes that were unfolding. They are the kind of pictures that feel rushed and have a wishy-washy overall look but when you look deeper at them, they convey a lot of detail within the scene rather than within each object.
The book is a quick read, with very few words on each page. It is an ideal bedtime story for children under the age of five years. As each scene unfolds, the child ages up to around this age, and the day darkens even though the story is actually covering several years. I recommend this book to parents and caregivers that have a strong bond with their children. There is a strong sense of a stay-at-home parent in the book, and there is no mention of a dad so it could be well-suited to families of a similar dynamic. All in all, it was a touching read that deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

This picture book had really great illustrations, and the story was sweet. However, I think books for young kids like this one are better when they rhyme - they’re more engaging. This one easily could’ve rhymed with tweaks to a couple words on each page,
Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group: words & pictures for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A fascinating children's book, loaded with beautiful pictures. This book is good, both for children with parents or single moms. This book also tells the children about a supermom and fabulous experiences that happened to the children. I'm a little bit envious of the daily activities of the kids, and the different childhood activities with city-raised kids. I hope this book will satisfy the future reader with a beautifully framed children-mother relationship.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – words & pictures for the opportunity to read and review this beautiful e-ARC: 'My Mom by Susan Quinn.'
4 stars out of 5.
What a fantastic little children's book about the relationship between daughter and her mother. Beautiful illustrations that remind me of drawing as a child her age. The layouts of the words and images are pleasing and exciting to the eye. Any children's library or bookshelf would be honored to house this short story.
Would recommend to any child who loves a beautiful art filled book.

Beautiful illustrations and lovely story that really hit on all the maternal emotions. I read it with both my 7 and 4 year olds and both equally enjoyed this read!
