From New York Times bestselling author Babs Costello, the internet’s favorite grandma, comes a picture book filled with the motherly wisdom we all need! Did Your Mother Ever Tell You? offers readers new insights on familiar phrases, with emotional support, encouragement, and unconditional love infused on every page.
We’ve all heard old sayings like “Don’t cry over spilled milk” and “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” But did your mother ever tell you that it’s okay to cry over little things? And who wants to catch flies anyway?
In her first-ever picture book, Barbara Costello—also known as Brunch with Babs—brings a fresh perspective to these tired clichés, giving adults and kids alike some shared laughter and modern wisdom. With twinkling warmth and her signature question, Babs reminds readers what is truly timeless: a mother’s love for her child.
