PURPLE JAMMIES

Purple Jammies is a delightful rhyming book about a mother who watches her baby grow from infancy to motherhood. When her baby girl is grown with children of her own, the mother laments days gone by.

During the whirlwind days of raising children, losing sight of what is most important is easy. Making ends meet, tackling mountains of laundry, attending games, concerts, and plays, keeping up with homework and library books, and a million other details scream for attention. Cradling a crying baby, wrangling a restless toddler, or waiting up for a teenager can feel like the chaos and noise will never end. 

But they do. The clock hands unceasingly tick past the minutes, hours, and days we can never get back. Purple Jammies is a reminder to slow down and enjoy all that comes with raising children. Because all too soon, we find ourselves saying, “Turn around, my, how you’ve grown! How the time has quickly flown.”

Purple Jammies is the perfect gift for Mother’s Day or the birth of a new baby.
