Motherhood
Motherhood: 55 Reflections on What It Means to Be a Mom | Sarah Cray
18 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A collection of thoughtful quotations paired with sophisticated illustrations by Sarah Cray; a heartful gift for any mother, mother figure, or mom-to-be. Whether she carried you for nine months or embodies the meaning of mom in your life; whether it's to celebrate your best friend's baby shower, or your very first grandchild, Motherhood is a beautiful keepsake for every kind of mom. Celebrate the powerful love, inimitable strength, and indispensable humor it takes to be a mom with this intimate collection. Imaginative illustrations in watercolor, gouache, and ink paired with inspired quotations--some silly, some solemn, all true--serves as a standalone token of affection or the perfect finishing touch to a gift. Sarah Cray is a California-based watercolor artist, wife, and mother of two daughters. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Sacramento State in 2015 with a degree in art studio, emphasis in painting and drawing. Sarah has since grown a small side business into her dream career.

It is surprisingly difficult to find admirable mothers in literature. Here‘s hoping this current century does a better job of telling the stories of mothers!

AvidReader25 You found some good ones! Mrs. Frisby was incredibly brave. 5y
