Description

Just Like Mama is a beautiful testament to the love between mother and daughter, and especially how, in a child's eyes, a mother does everything perfectly, from cooking to playing to simply loving. There are some things that no one can do as well as a mom. "With a pile of pancakes shaped like moons, and cocoa with a cloud of cream, no one can cook breakfast just like Mama." Nor garden, host tea parties, cook supper, or tuck her child into bed. No one does it just like Mama can. And in the end, nobody loves Mama just like her little girl does.
