Publisher's Synopsis

¿Cómo era una madre antes de ser madre? Antes tenìa un nombre y ahora es mamá, a secas. A veces echa de menos su vida anterior, pero otras veces está convencida de que ser madre ha sido su mayor logro. A veces cogerìa las maletas y se irìa de casa para estar sola y, otras, en cuanto se separa de sus hijos un momento, ya los echa de menos.

Bellìsimamente ilustrado por el gran Ricard López, este libro se convertirá en el regalo perfecto para madres e hijos y es ideal para compartir un momento de paz y lectura en familia.
&«Porque antes de ti, yo solo era yo.
Ahora somos nosotras.
Tú y yo».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A moving and touching picture book to love and be loved, an ode to motherhood.
"I'll tell you who I was before, I'll tell you who I am now.
How much I love you, what I keep and what I give to you.
Because we are not one, you and I, we are two.
And BEFORE you, I was already ME."
What was a mother like before being a mother? Before, she had a name, and now she's just mom. Sometimes she misses her previous life, but other times she's convinced that being a mother has been her greatest achievement. At times she would love to pack her bags and leave to have some time alone, and other times, as soon as she's left alone for a moment, she already misses them.
Bea Taboada, author of A veces mamá tiene truenos en la cabeza/Sometimes Mom Has Lightning in Her Head, explores in this beautiful picture book the virtues and contradictions of being a mother, with all its ups and downs.
Beautifully illustrated by the great Ricard López, this book will become the perfect gift for mothers and children and is ideal for sharing reading time as a family.
"Because before you, I was just me. Now it's us. You and me."
