A prize-winning tour de force when it came out in France, Violaine Huisman's remarkable debut novel is about a daughter's inextinguishable love for her magnetic, mercurial mother. Beautiful and charismatic, Catherine, aka 'Maman', smokes too much, drives too fast, laughs too hard and loves too extravagantly. During a joyful and chaotic childhood in Paris, her daughter Violaine wouldn't have it any other way.

But when Maman is hospitalised after a third divorce and breakdown, everything changes. Even as Violaine and her sister long for their mother's return, once she's back Maman's violent mood swings and flagrant disregard for personal boundaries soon turn their home into an emotional landmine. As the story of Catherine's own traumatic childhood and coming of age unfolds, the pieces come together to form an indelible portrait of a mother as irresistible as she is impossible, as triumphant as she is transgressive.

With spectacular ferocity of language, a streak of dark humor and stunning emotional bravery, 
The Book of Mother is an exquisitely wrought story of a mother's dizzying heights and devastating lows, and a daughter who must hold her memory close in order to let go.

Absolutely love this!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best sunblock I’ve ever purchased! I use it mostly for my toddler and the roll on is so easy to apply even when she’s wiggly. It does leave a slight white residue in general (it’s mineral so it usually will) or if it doesn’t get rubbed on all the way but way better than most other mineral sunscreens I’ve used before. Didn’t feel like she looked like a ghost which was a plus! I use plenty of mineral ones because we have pale skin and burn easily. Felt like this has very good sun protection. Used it in Hawaii and didn’t get any sunburn at all as long as we used it as directed. The roll on is my favorite since it glides so well. I’ve used other roll on ones that don’t cooperate and leave clumps or you have to manually roll the ball to get anything out. This one is my favorite and I will keep buying this one forever!

Super convenient and easy to use especially with kids! Not sticky and doesn’t leave any residue. A little bit of a white cast.

Easy peasy!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Babybun is a healthier option for sunscreen! We use it for our little and the spray for ourseves. This roll on is so convenient! No breathing in the spray for the kids and less struggle. Just a couple quick swipes, rub it in and good to go! Plus it smells like bananas, the kids think its funny with the monkey logo so it has become a game when getting sun ready, winner winner!

Easy to apply
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Easy to apply on my baby. We were on a trip to Punta Cana and were out in the sun a lot and this did a great job protecting his skin.
