First Mothers by Beverly Gherman - Author Illustrated by Julie Downing

Did you know that Thomas Jefferson's mother ran a plantation by herself, or that Abraham Lincoln's mother was a wrestler? James Madison's mom called him "Jemmy" and made his shirts while he went to college, and Woodrow Wilson created Mother's Day to celebrate all mothers--especially his. Join Beverly Gherman and Julie Downing in this celebration of the women behind the White House. Gherman delightfully dishes fun facts about each mother, and Downing's lively illustrations are sure to enthrall and entertain.

MY REVIEW: I love this book. It gives a quick synopsis of the lives of mothers who’s child became President of the United States. The captions are adorable along with the illustrations. Who is the Determined Mother? The Flamboyant Mother? The Resourceful Mother; Each of their stories are delightful to read.
