Overview"A collection of compelling poems and delightful illustrations offering a vivid glimpse into a mother's heart as she journeys through her first year of motherhood and reflects on all that it means to be entrusted with the nurture of a child. An exploration of faith, purpose, joy, tender connection and self-discovery. Honest, amusing, profound, and uplifting, this book is a balm to a mama's heart. Now That I'm a Mother was written and illustrated by the mother-daughter duo, Katy Starbuck and Sue Pienaar. It was written over a year of nap times. ""What is it about motherhood that has such a powerful spiritual impact on so many of us? I think it's that in opening our hands and arms to receive the gift of a child, we brush hands with the very maker and giver of the gift - the loving God and creator of life, and once we've brushed hands with God, we're never quite the same again"". - Katy Starbuck Reviews and praise for Now That I'm a Mother: ""Katy's poems paint a beautiful picture of the privilege and joy of raising little ones whilst also acknowledging the challenges that come with this season of life. To me, her words have often felt like a deep breath of relief, an understanding friend or a loving hug. I'm convinced that her way of finding words for the experience of becoming a mother will make plenty of other moms feel seen, appreciated and encouraged, and will draw them closer to the creator, just as they've done for me."" - Ruth, mama to Selah, Luke, Nathan and Aviva ""A great gift for a new mom or mom-to-be. There are many relatable moments that made me feel seen and heard as a first time mom. I would recommend it to all my mom friends. It's a must-read!"" - Sinead, mama to Layla ""Katy Starbuck is a wizard with her words. She makes you laugh, cry, and smile all within one poem. This book will speak to and comfort every mama. Relive and remember the most special mama moments with this touching collection of poems."" - Stacey, mama to Ellie" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Katy StarbuckPublisher: Independently Published Imprint: Independently Published Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.200kg ISBN: 9783000784521ISBN 10: 3000784527 Pages: 144 Publication Date: 23 April 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
