Books with Strong Mothers

With Mother's Day just around the corner, here's a few books that great to share. There are plenty of books with terrible mothers, mothers who have died, or nonexistent mothers. Often parents are taken out of the equation to move the plot line. These books contain a strong mother figure:

Are You My Mother: I read this over and over as a kid and LOVED it! A look at one bird trying to find his mother after falling out of his nest.


Just Me and Mom: I loved this series - and how Little Critter was so mischievous!

Mother-Daughter Book Club: Four 6th graders and their moms start a book club. in the first book of the series, they read Little Women (another book with a strong mother figure).

Princess Diaries: Mia and her Mom have a great relationship; it's normal even though Mia discovers she's an heir to the throne of Genovia.

Percy Jackson series: Percy and his mom have a very strong bond.

Harry Potter series: Mrs Weasley mothers everyone and worries about them all.

What other books are there featuring strong mothers?
