Thanks Mom!: A Collection of Stories and Artwork to Benefit Habitat for Humanity

Enjoy memories of mothers’ abiding love and benefit Habitat for Humanity. Memories of a mother’s abiding love can do more than shelter the heart.

Decorative pages provide the opportunity to write your own unique tribute to your mother. A lovely present and a reminder of the many gifts given to us by our mothers, Thanks, Mom! offers powerful inspiration from the women who raised us.
