On each page of this fun collection is a mother’s witty saying, wise mantra, or an inspiring prayer. The mothers quoted here come from all walks of life. Yet each share a common goal: to dispense their counsel to the world’s children (of all ages). From Raising Babies to Random Acts of Budgeting , from What to Tell Your Imaginary Friend to Cross-Training with God , we are reminded that, in many cases, Mother knows best.
