"Celebrating motherhood through dozens of poignant poems, this beautifully illustrated anthology is a joyous gem to treasure."
Written and illustrated by Kerri Cunningham, whose images and words have garnered a global following on her Murphy's Sketches social platform, All of My Days is a wonderful gift to give to mums on any occasion — Mother’s Day, birthdays, days when new babies are welcomed into the world, and days when you want to say thank you.
Delicately illustrated and presented in a pretty hardback package, its poems celebrate every stage of motherhood, from that first euphoric moment with a new-born babe in arms (“When I first looked at your face/And into your eyes/I saw the reason for my entire existence”), through to the sweetness of “Sleepy little feet/Padding down the hall/On Sunday mornings”, and the brutality of realising “One evening I’ll sit down/There will be no bath to run/And no books to read/No little voices in the hall. No laughter bouncing off the walls”.
Though deeply moving (expect recipients to shed more than a few tears), All of My Days never veers into Hallmark sentimentality territory. Rather, this beautiful book brims with beautiful words that are also soul-stirringly honest.
All Of My Days is the first collection of poetry from writer Kerri Cunningham, aka Murphy's Sketches.
