Kids grow up so fast. You're rocking them to sleep one minute, and the next, you watch them walk across the stage at their graduation. In the space between infancy and adulthood, there are many lessons to teach, many firsts to experience, many tears and smiles, and memories that will be cherished—always. Madison's First Tooth: A Mother's Nurturing Touch is a touching story playing out many cherished moments between a mother and her daughter. We watch as baby Madison prepares to crawl for the first time and gives her mom a silly pose. We are there for Madison's first baby tooth and her first "lost" one. Readers will watch Madison grow up and start a career, a moment that is laced with pride and tears.
Madison's First Tooth: A Mother's Nurturing Touch shows the special bond between mother and daughter. Like some households, Madison's parent was her first teacher, and the first lesson the mom imparted to her daughter was the importance of dental hygiene. Day and night, the mom brushes and flosses her daughter's teeth, from the first one to erupt until Maddy becomes a "tooth-brushing pro."
The story takes an emotional turn as it fast-forwards several years, where the roles of mother and daughter are reversed; Madison is now caring for her aging mom. This poignant moment will resonate with anyone who has cared for an older relative, as they witness Madison assisting her mother in brushing her teeth. The scene of them playing cards and watching TV together is deeply moving, and may even bring a tear to your eye, as it did to mine. These are all profoundly touching moments that capture the essence of the mother-daughter bond.
In Madison's First Tooth: A Mother's Nurturing Touch, we see the lessons the mom taught her daughter about the importance of healthy teeth and gums stuck. Now, Madison helps her mom's teeth stay healthy and strong as her body ages. We should encourage kids to follow Madison and her mom’s example: brush twice a day and don’t forget to floss!
Madison's First Tooth: A Mother's Nurturing Touch is a sweet picture book that'll stay with me for a long while. It made me smile. It made me cry. It was a story that I would like to share with my daughter and future granddaughters. The illustrator did stumble a few times when positioning the mother's head. It was either turned at odd angles, which made it look unnatural, or appeared to be facing backward, which was confusing. Design issues aside, I still recommend reading Madison's First Tooth: A Mother's Nurturing Touch; it's a story you'll want to share for many generations.
