I bought my mother the perfect gift! Thats often a hard thing to do. But this time I KNOW I bought her a gift that will make her cry (in a good way). I found a vintage copy of David Johnson's "I'll Give You The Morning Sun, Although Its Not Mine To Give" which is an out-of-print book of poems written from a parent to a child. Its her all-time favorite book. Someone gave it to her when I was born. She'd sit in the rocker for hours reading it to me.

To top it off, I found a DVD copy of Jack Ezra Keats "The Snowy Day" which is her favorite children's book. The DVD has all the original illustrations with a narrator. PLUS three other stories by JEK and an extensive interview with him. Mother will absolutely flip!
