Description
"For My Sons" is a mother's poem of love to her two children. In the style of a personal message, it gives the reader a glimpse into the relationship of a family's first 24 years together. Jeannette Eseberre takes the reader through the boy's growth from newborns to grown men. From the point of view of a mother, we see young ones learn, develop, and mature. And parents are reminded that no matter how old their child becomes, they will always be their baby.
About the author
Jeannette Eseberre is a married mother of two grown sons. She is currently an elementary substitute teacher. Her favorite pastime is spending time with family and friends. This book, "For My Sons", was a poem originally written for her sons during one of her childhood education courses. Because it held special meaning to her, it was updated and turned into a children's book. Almost all of the sketches are from actual family photos taken throughout their life. Ignacio G. does a terrific job of bringing these precious moments to life throughout the book.
