If I Were a Mother is the story of the ideals a little girl comes up with about what she would be like if she had children of her own. She uses animals and their parenting habits to reference to and finally uses her own mother. Kazue MIzumura's story would be a great read around mother's day for young children.
A lovely little book of softly colored watercolors shows children, animals, and plants throughout the year along with short, simple blank verse.
This story is about a young girl who wants to be like her mother. She pushes around a "baby" and takes care of it. This is a great book for young girls who love their dolls like children.
