“Tell me about when you were little.” These are words that every parent hears. Thiesing has addressed this topic in an endearing book depicting how a mother relates her life to her daughter. The daughter soon realizes that she is just like her mother in many ways.  The illustrations depict both the mother and child doing the same type of things from infancy until young childhood. The design is similar to a photo album with the mother’s photographs done in black and white and the daughter’s photographs in color. The illustrations add to the “then and now” concept being projected throughout the text. This book is perfect for lap-reading with your little one.  (Paperback)
