This story is about the pleasant presence of mother in a child’s life remembered through acts of care and love, and prompts children to think about what good scents they associate with the people they love.

GeneralDear Parents,
In the first few years, a child’s memory tends to be sensory and distinctive; Basically, they remember what their senses receive, and the positive or negative feelings this reception evokes. Therefore, the child’s lived experiences with their family and friends are of great importance due to the emotional impact they have, which accompany the child all his/her life.
“My Mother’s Scent” is a book about the physical presence of the mother, the father, or any important person in the child’s life, hopefully, this presence is both kind to and supportive of the child.
