Product Description
Nine-year-old Susie Mae wants nothing more than to be "just like" her own lovely and accomplished mama. One day she sets out to prove to her family and herself that she is ready to do just that. From taking on the morning milking to egg gathering and berry picking, Susie Mae tackles all of Mama's daily tasks with gently amusing and genuinely touching results. A wonderful book that mothers and daughters of all ages can enjoy, Just Like Mama ultimately encourages everyone to be "just like Jesus."

This review is from: Just Like Mama (Hardcover)
This beautifully written and illustrated book introduces life for an Amish family through the eyes of little Susie Mae. Watching her mother, Susie Mae decides since she looks like her mother she will also act like her mother. Her actions in some cases bring unexpected results. How her mother reacts teaches Susie Mae how to behave under similar circumstances. The closing message is, "Let's be more like the Lord Jesus . . . together."
