A sweet little picture-story book from the 1970’s. This is not in any way an exceptional book, but that is also its particular charm. It shows an ordinary day of an ordinary mother taking her two young children with her to town to get their groceries. In a simple unassuming way this book shows the ‘ordinary’ love that mothers show every day. Over years, this ordinary patient attentiveness to the needs of our children adds up to a grand and potent maternal love. This is a little book about nothing-much, and at the same time, it is about the ever important relationships of care that give us the foundation we need to grow into healthy adults.  

A subtle introduction to relationships for younger children.
