Mother’s Day Tellwell Picks!

May 27,2025 / By Trixie Raboy / No Comment

There’s no single way to define a mother, but their impact is always unforgettable. 💐💖

As we celebrated Mother’s Day, we took a moment to honour the women who nurture, guide, and inspire us. Whether it was your own mom, a grandmother, or a mother figure in your life, this booklist serves as a heartfelt tribute to the many ways motherhood shows up in the world.

Check out these stories of strength, sacrifice, quiet love, and unwavering support, each one capturing the beauty and resilience of motherhood in all its forms.

Unstoppable Mamas by Sara Ballantyne

UNSTOPPABLE MAMAS is a story that highlights the unique attributes and passions of mothers. It encompasses a positive message while reminding readers that no two mothers are alike, and their differences must be celebrated. Unstoppable Mamas is a lovely rhyme that teaches children that no matter the differences between mothers, they share one commonality: their unconditional love for their children.

What Is Mommy Doing? by Stacia Scott

Stacia Scott is a wife to her high school sweet heart, Eric, and has three amazing little boys. Stacia is a Nurse Practitioner and owner of Postpartum Care USA, a virtual postpartum medical clinic. After struggling with severe postpartum symptoms with little to no support from providers, Stacia quickly realized the lack of true knowledge and expertise from general medical providers. She has taken the lead to change care for mothers throughout the United States and has developed a natural, holistic postpartum clinic dedicated to helping women defeat postpartum symptoms with her propriety M.O.M. Method.

Mommy Always Comes Back to You by Christine Yeung & Anna Liang

Through gentle rhymes, little ones are reminded that “Mommy always comes back to you”

Mama’s Mantras by Renata de Castro

Mama’s Mantras is about an inquisitive little girl who loves the world of yoga and Ayurveda and finds peace in these practices. Her mom, an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher, shares part of these ancient and holistic teachings with her daughter at bedtime every night, in order to help her daughter cultivate healthy practices to regulate her breath, nervous system and feel connected to her body and the world around her.

Me, Myself & Motherhood by Jessie Daypuck

“Me, Myself, & Motherhood” is a guided journal designed to empower Mothers to embrace self-love, gratitude, & explore personal strengths. This journal aims to release Mom guilt, promote self-forgiveness & encourage you to let go of negative thoughts. Create a renewed sense of purpose & fulfillment by bringing out the version of yourself you wish to be. This journal also incorporates empowering affirmations, inspiring prompts & most importantly, therapeutic tools to help you break free from self-doubt & step into your confidence. Writing presents an emotional connection to the words, which means journaling is most definitely a form of self-care. Jessie believes these tools should be accessible to all Mother’s beyond the confines of therapy. “Motherhood is challenging, it is essential we show ourselves as much compassion as possible.”

I Hate You Mom: A Story of Unconditional Love by Yumi Hopfner

It is my hope that this story inspires children, parents and families to appreciate those intense moments as great opportunities to learn about unconditional love.

Curse of Ashmedei by Michal Snaerravn

Dark forces gather as ancient powers collide. A lone fighter, hunted and desperate, must navigate deadly alliances and unforgiving enemies. Betrayal lurks at every turn—who can be trusted when survival is on the line?

The Black Star approaches, heralding the cataclysm of Hell’s Gate. The pawns on the chessboard have played the opening gambits as the Races vie for its power. Amnon, a young Demonblood consumed by revenge, finds himself drawn into a maelstrom of treacherous alliances and primeval magic. With a price on his head and outmanoeuvred by Druids and Trollbloods at every turn, he can’t survive alone. An ancient Lycan, who has lost his humanity, is the only one he can trust . . . I roared in anger. “Druid fool! It will take—” At that moment something struck me from behind. Cursed Hell Bear! I decided that I would kill him first if I survived. I turned to the cave’s exit and took a staggering step . . .
