Have you ever noticed how mothers come in all shapes and sizes: mothers with long hair, mothers with short hair; mothers who work outside the home, mothers who work at home; tattooed mothers, mothers with piercings; executive mothers, nerd mothers, geek mothers, sports mothers, alien mothers (oops!). But when it comes down to it, all mothers are the same: they care, love, and fight in the same way.’ Once a mom always a mom’ is a book written to show that, despite being different, mothers are very similar to each other. Mothers take care of us, scold us, kiss us, tell us to put on coats, want us to eat everything, get worried when we eat too much, don’t want to let go, want to be left alone… Can you understand that?
