Description
Close your eyes, my baby. This too shall pass. Hush the hurt, my heart. Tears may fall, but I am here, so hush. Hush is the story of a mother's love, unyielding over the years. Sara is a happy little girl — like most kids she has not a care in the world. But every now and then she finds herself feeling less than happy -sometimes sad, sometimes hurt. Who can she turn to? Mom. A mom is always there with a hug and soothing words to make everything better, really as only a mother can. Now Sara is growing up and will soon leave her mother to start a life of her own. Will teenage Sara still seek the comfort of mom when life takes its turns? And what will grown-up Sara do when her own daughter suffers childhood's bumps and bruises? With dynamic colour illustrations, Hush is a wonderfully poetic dedication to that unique everlasting bond between mother and child.
