If mom likes to read, what better gift than a book dedicated to motherhood. Here we leave you with some Book ideas for Mother's Day.
Works that reflect on being mothers, literary fiction dedicated to them, works that prepare us to be, books in which to record the evolution of pregnancy, the essentials of parenting with attachment, baby diaries to make their first months indelible, the late motherhood seen with carelessness and humor ... What will be the book that mom will like the most?
An ideal book for this day would be "All the mothers of the world", by Gustavo Martín Garzo, edited by Lumen (21'90 euros). It is a compilation of fifty short stories in which the author talks about the relationships between mothers and children, and how they bring out the worst and the best of each person.
The stories are accompanied by abundant images that capture motherhood. We found different typologies of mothers: absent, overprotective, mothers who never wanted to be and others who would give their lives for their children ... and all with something to teach and learn:
“Mothers, our first love… I have written this book so that they are happy reading it. Or, rather, to prolong with their reading the happiness they feel with their children and dissipate, with a little humor and irony, the fear of seeing them grow. ”
Another work dedicated to mothers is a book we talked about a while ago, the "Book of mothers", compiled by Laura Freixas, edited by 451 Editors. On this occasion we find a selection of different literary texts of the most diverse authors and eras, with the common thematic thread of motherhood, in all its manifestations.
Saint Augustine, Apollonius of Rhodes, Jane Austen, Boccaccio, Chateaubriand, Euripides, Ovid, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Galdós ... are some of the writers who reflect on mothers. The book is illustrated with beautiful images of famous canvases also dedicated to them.
"Eat, love, suck. Natural parenting guide", by Carlos González, edited by Planeta (Live Better, 29'50 euros). This work collects in a single volume, reviewed, updated and corrected by the author, the three great books of pediatrician Carlos González ("My child does not eat me", "Kiss me a lot", "A gift for a lifetime").
They address the keys to return to a natural upbringing and respond to the problems that parents find in caring for babies.
For the future mom, I recommend some Pregnancy diary in which they can write down everything related to those months before being a mother. Here are some diaries that you can find: "Diary of My Pregnancy", by A. Christine Harris (Ed. Oniro), "Diary of your pregnancy week by week", by Glade B. Curtis and J. Schuler (Ed. Tikal) , or the "Pregnancy week by week", of the Grijalbo Publishing House.
He too "Illustrated Atlas of pregnancy, childbirth and early years", from Susaeta publishing house offers practical information for parents. A general tour of topics such as breastfeeding, baby's health, growth, complementary feeding ...
But if the future mom does not have complexes and enjoys a good sense of humor, "The unexpected when you are waiting" is the work indicated. An irreverent book that dismantles idealized motherhood and shows us without problems the problems, discomforts and painful situations that we will encounter during our pregnancy and motherhood. The author is Mary K. Moore and is edited by ViaMagna.
For the recent mom, what better than a Baby diary. In this case we will write down all your achievements and advances, from the first smile and the words or the crawling. A beautiful gift for the unforgettable memory of the baby's first months of life. "Your baby's first year agenda" by Timun Mas or "The Stork Kit" from Dome Books are some ideas, and in any bookstore there will be other options for baby diaries.
For moms who decide to be after 40, we have the work of journalist Marta Robles "Diary of a pregnant forties", which tells in a fun way what it is like to have a child after forty, with another older son and a former partner. It is edited by Planet Fable (19 euros):
The portrait of a woman who confesses in her diary with a lot of humor and without fear of ridicule. Pregnancy turns life around, it completely changes your relationship with the family, your relationship, your relationships at work. The revolution comes when the gynecologist asks how old he is: that is only the first time they hurt his susceptibility, something that will only happen after nine months of madness, nerves, insecurities, fears, anguishes ...
We hope these tips to give a book on Mother's Day Give you the idea you were looking for. Surely mom will love to receive it with the best of your hugs and kisses.
