A Mother's Promise 
By Lisa Humphrey
Illustrated by David Danioth

 
     Lisa Humphrey was inspired to write A Mother’s Promise when her friend wondered if the world was too frightening and hazardous to bring a new life into it. Lisa’s stirring message is presented here in the form of a gentle poem. A mother talks to her unborn child in this beautifully written book about the bond that develops between a mother and child, and the world around them. It is a book filled with strong feelings of love, and the love of life. Lisa's gentle poetry is bound to touch your soul, as it has mine, with its promise of a better world for all of us.

     David Danioth's amazing illustrations provide just the right atmosphere for Lisa's poetry.  Each page touches the senses with strong emotions. David dedicated his first book, The Tree, to "All mothers—the givers and unconditional nurturers of life," so this book was in keeping with David's philosophy, and begged for his stirring illustrations.

     As with all the books from Illumination Arts, a portion of the profits will be donated to the Children's Global Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to global peace and to helping homeless children worldwide.

     This book would be an ideal conversation starter for family night, or to read aloud at bedtime.
