We don’t need a holiday to tell our moms and maternal figures how much we love them; we should tell them everyday! Even if your mama isn’t as crazy of a bookworm as you, I have no doubt she will still love the following sweet book quotes all about the joy and love of motherhood:
1. “My mom, she was really beautiful. My dad used to say she could make trees bloom just by looking at them.”
~ I’ll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson
2. “Little Llama, don’t you know,
Mama Llama loves you so?
Mama Llama’s always near,
even if she’s not right here.”
~ Llama Llama Red Pajama, Anna Dewdney
3. “If you run away, I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.”
~ The Runaway Rabbit, Margaret Wise Brown
4. “What would a mom do if she couldn’t fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom.”
~ The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky
5. “‘Mama, do you love me?’
‘Yes I do, Dear One.’
‘How much?’
‘I love you more than the raven loves his treasure, more than the dog loves his tail, more than the whale loves his spout.’
‘How long?’
‘I’ll love you until the umiak flies into the darkness, till the stars turn to fish in the sky, and the puffin howls at the moon.”
~ Mama, Do You Love Me?, Barbara M. Joosse
6. “I sat on a stool at the kitchen counter and ate my mother’s sweet treats. She knew how to suspend fruit in Jell-O. I thought it was magic.”
– Before I Was Your Mother, Kathryn Lasky
7. “If you were a brown bear … I would snuggle next to you all winter long.”
– I Would Tuck You In, Sarah Asper-Smith
8. “The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlet here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.”
– Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
9. “My mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.”
– Wonder, R.J. Palacio
