Illustrated by
Ingrid Godon.
A child gives examples of the magic her mommy can do--making monsters disappear, healing boo-boos with kisses, making flowers grow and birthday cakes appear--all without the help of a magic wand. The text is more a paean to motherhood than a story for children, but with simple line strokes, the pastel and paint illustrations effectively turn the ordinary into extraordinary.
