Like Mother Like Daughter

This is an adorable little book with delightful quotes and oh-so-precious photographs of mother and daughter animals.

It’s impossible to pick a favorite picture, because they’re all so wonderful.  I have managed to narrow it down to either the lynxes or the porcupines or the kangaroos or the meerkats or the penguins or the cats or the ducks or koalas or the sheep or the lions or the polar bears.

It was much easier to pick out favorite quotes.  I found two I really liked.

A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.  (Victor Hugo)

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.  (Eleanor Roosevelt)

It’s a small book, but one that would look nice on anyone’s coffee table.
