From the Author
My incredible mom turned 80 on the day before Mother’s Day. I had to do something special for that occasion! This book is my tribute to her and to every woman who has loved a child more than her own life.
When I look at the collection of adorable, often humorous mother-and-child wildlife images in this book, what I see is my own mom’s self-sacrifice and fiercely devoted love for her “cubs.” I also see some of my wild antics she had to put up with . . .
Every page in this book was rigorously tested for it’s “oooohhh” factor by women ages 20 to 80–who normally would not agree on anything. Any photo-and-text combination that did not yield a heartfelt sigh, coo or laugh from each one of these unwitting test subjects landed in a reject pile. Only hand-picked favorites made the final cut into this book.
I hope you and the mom (or mom-to-be) who receives this book each get a heart full of warmth from this affectionate and grateful tribute.

Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from “Just Moms”:
“Making the decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.”
~Elizabeth Stone
“No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
~Bill Cosby
