Author JC Little Takes on Motherhood with Her Second Picture Book

By: PRLog
Award-winning story artist JC Little has authored a touching picture book that captures a universal theme without a single word: the experience of motherhood.
PRLog - Apr. 28, 2014 - MONTREAL, Canada -- Montreal-based story artist JC Little has turned her 2012 BlogHer Voice of the Year (VOTY) awarded blog post into a wordless picture book to celebrate mothers everywhere.

Simply titled Motherhood, the sophomore effort from JC wordlessly tells the universal story of motherhood, from the gentle moment of birth to the inevitable letting go. In the playful and poignant simplicity that is her signature style, JC Little has captured the tender bond between mother and child, and created a timeless and wordless picture-book for mothers, sons, and daughters of all ages.

“Becoming a mother is profoundly emotional,” says JC. “I wanted to have the story resonate with anyone, anywhere, whether grandparent, parent or child.“

Motherhood is a book for all ages. The unique presentation of the story through pictures allows the youngest readers to create their own narrative, while the nature of the story changes and takes on new meaning for adolescent, midlife, and mature readers, as children grow up to have lives of their own.

Motherhood by JC Little, is available now in paperback on CreateSpace and Amazon, and on Amazon for Kindle eBook.
