One of the most unbelievable things about childhood is when your mother tells you that she was a kid just like you. Yeah, right! Somehow the image of Mom in diapers just seems too silly to believe. Lisa Thiesing is a mother who knows of what she writes, and in this delightful book she shares with her young daughter the realities of just how alike they are. Using color as well as black and white photographs to illustrate the generational divide, we see that the journey of childhood has indeed been traveled before. From making friends, to playing, eating, and taking baths, Mom knows of what she speaks. This is a sweet touching book with illustrations that successfully match the feelings we get from this wonderful book.
