30 Things My Mum Taught Me
Author(s): Denis and Ian Baker
This book is three brothers' exploration of the wisdom of their mother. '30 Things My Mum Taught Me' will help the reader appreciate their own mother, value what is special about themselves and help them to positively influence their own children. The book is a meditation on the experiences of one family, but reveals universal truths about love, kindness, growing up and loss. The reader is invited to enjoy the lessons of Dorothy Josephine Baker and the voices of many other great women, and encouraged to add their own thoughts and recollections to the blank pages in the book, to bring out the truths of their own lives. The authors invite everyone who was once a child to share their memories of what it was like to be that happy, scared, petulant, loving person and to re-learn the valuable lessons that so many of us have forgotten.
