If I Were Not Your Mother

If I Were Not Your Mother is an illustrated children's book for all mothers. It is a book for children of all ages! With this book, you and your child can imagine you, Mother, as something other than mother.

Giggle together as you imagine yourself as these silly, whimsical characters. Laugh together, in wonder, as your child imagines you being a fairy, a mermaid or even a mountain! And, together, enjoy returning to your favorite thing to be… Mother!

Christina Ann Phile-Traverso, American, is a private English teacher in Genoa, Italy. When not teaching English to Italian youth between three and sixteen, she writes poems and stories for children. She is a wife and mother of three boys who thoroughly enjoy imagining her as a sea mermaid or garden scarecrow! She has written a "sequel" to If I Were Not Your Mother and hopes to have it illustrated and published later in 2006. You can visit the author's website at www.ifiwerenotyourmother.com.
