A Mother Is a House

▋內容簡介

　　媽媽是房子，媽媽是車子，

　　媽媽是夜裡的月亮，媽媽是一段旋律，

　　媽媽是一座小島，媽媽是一座山的山峰，

　　媽媽是故事，媽媽是祕密基地，是一個大貝殼，是糖果……

▋本書特點

★為孩子帶來安心與滿足

★為大人帶來飽滿的幸福
　　每一個翻頁，都讓家人想起育兒時期不可思議的點滴時光。隨著孩子的成長，親子關係從形影不離，直到孩子踏步向前走。儘管物理的距離越來越遠，但媽媽永遠是媽媽。

★法國新銳插畫家，為留住育兒第一年的感動而畫
　　大兒子出生時，插畫家珀蒂試著以創作捕捉當媽媽的日常，對她來說，孩子誕生的第一年，也是「媽媽」這個身分誕生的第一年，
她認為，當我們發現自己孩子長大的同時，也意識到這些片段即將過去，我們無法讓時間停止，但有一本這樣的書，讓人更平靜的體會這個階段的點滴。

A contemporary and original gift book, celebrating modern motherhood and mothers.

The Times Children’s Book of the Week.

In this eye-catching, neon-bright picture book, a baby sees their mother in every aspect of their day from birth to first steps.

A mother’s a house,
She’s a car in a rush,
She’s a lullaby hush.

As the pages go by, the child grows. The mother becomes a road, a story and a show, the illustrations at times literal, unexpected. On the final page, the child is ready to take their first steps. Because a mother is a home that you carry inside you forever.

Offering a unique baby’s eye view of the first year, A Mother is a House contains all of the funny observations and emotions of a mother and child’s first year together--shown through bright, modern illustrations and special inks.

A chic and stylish gift book for expectant parents, baby showers, new moms, mother’s day, or as a celebratory gift for daughters and grandparents.

Aurore Petit is one of a new young generation of French illustrators to emerge from the influential School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. She lives in Paris.

Praise for A Mother is a House:

＂Daniel Hahn is a careful, creative translator and his lovely sing-along lines avoid cliché. The tone is never cloying--a feat in a paean to mums for this age group.＂ --The Times, Children’s Book of the Week

＂What’s most striking about the book, though, is its use of intense neon colors both for details and large swaths of the illustrations and for the text itself. The final metaphor says it all: ’A mother’s a home’.＂ --Kirkus Reviews
