Front Street, 2002 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages
Mothers and daughters. A more complex or profound relationship cannot be found. From morning to bedtime, My Mommy portrays in simple words and deeply resonant pictures the breadth and depth of a little girl's feelings for her mommy. Of My Daddy, Susan Paradis' highly acclaimed companion volume, the New York Time Book Review said, "There's a light touch at play here that somehow works with the rich colors and sense of magic to make the book's final pages mysteriously affecting and the inevitable hug genuinely heartwarming."

About the author (2002)

Susan Paradis, a former high school art teacher, spends most of her time in her studio drawing and painting. She also enjoys traveling where she can explore new places and museums with far-flung friends and family, especially her eldest son who lives in Europe. When at home in northeastern Massachusetts, Susan takes a daily five mile walk along the Merrimac River, frequents the gym, and plays with her seven grandchildren. They are, she says, "her favorite source of inspiration".
