A classic tale of love and devotion that pays tribute to the special bond between a son and his mother. This book is perfect for parents who want to read something to their little ones that they will relate to. With a unique perspective in writing, parents will also see these moments through a child's eye. This elementary school teacher turned author does a fantastic job of capturing moments as he experienced them when he was a boy, but with the reflection that comes from being a grown-up. The illustrator perfectly captured the tenderness of the story with soft enduring watercolors.The author, the oldest of 5 children, grew up in Illinois. His mother instilled a love of reading when he was just a little boy, reading to him every night at bedtime. His favorite book as a child was Little Engine and he still has his now tattered copy today. He wrote this story originally as a poem and gave it to his mother as a framed gift soon after he became a father.As a primary elementary school teacher for 13 years, he shares his love of reading with his students. He was voted Teacher of The Year during the 2016/2017 school year. Jim lives in Florida. This is the first published children's picture book for the illustrator. She is a graduate of OCAD in graphic design, an artist and owns her own design firm. She served her country for 7 years in the Combat Arms Canadian Forces. She loves jiu-jitsu, the Beatles and local singer/songwriter, Dallas Green. Chrissy lives in Canada.
