Dear Mom

A sweet, heartwarming picture book that shows love and appreciation for the people who do it all--moms! The perfect gift for Mother's Day, baby showers, new moms, and maternal figures everywhere.

Dear Mom,
You are the coolest,
The brightest,
The best!

Dear Mom is a love letter to moms everywhere--the ones who raise us, teach us how to be the best versions of ourselves, and give us all the tools we need to take on the wild ride of life. So much of what moms do is behind the scenes and goes underappreciated; this book is meant to show moms just how much we love and appreciate them.

Tender and beautifully illustrated, this picture book serves as a token of appreciation for the most important people in our lives, and is the perfect way to show moms everywhere just how much we love them.

She loves combining the textures of mixed media with digital techniques to create illustrations with fun personalities, inspired by her love of color, nature, and humor. When not working, Natalie finds new inspiration while bird watching at the beach or sketching at the local aquarium and at the never-ending parade of kids’ birthday parties. Natalie has illustrated multiple children’s picture books and licensed artwork for clients such as Design House Greetings, the Boston Children’s Hospital, Trader Joe’s, RecycleSmart, and Urban Play Interiors.
