My two children were small and we washed dished together. One washed, one would dry and last one of us would read a book to the others. The dish washer picked the book. It bound us together, it was fun, and now it’s a great memory.

Several years ago I painted a series of Madonnas, each depicting different facets of Mary. I picked the idea  the reading chair to show the joy between infants and Moms.

I’ve written several children’s books celebrating the value of a close family. I hope these books give adults excitement and examples of creative parenting, and grandparenting and of being a fun neighbor. I’d love to have you look at them and make comments even if you don’t have children in your homes. An eighty three year old told me she laughs out loud even as she rereads them. I’d be pleased if you’d look at my pictures at nancymauerman.com also.
