Reader Reviews for My Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World

A little girl falls asleep while her parents are busy with the harvest. Finding her mother again is all she wants, and this story is delightfully told. The illustrations by Ruth Gannett are wonderful. Given its copyright date, 1945, I guess it's understandable that the author calls her story a Russian folk tale, although it obviously takes place in Ukraine, where folks then and now do not consider themselves Russian. I simply love this book.

A gentle story of a little lost girl who can only tell rescuers that her mother is "the most beautiful woman in the world." Many beautiful women are brought forth for the girl to identify, but none are right. Finally, a dumpy, lumpy little woman emerges who is the right one - and "most beautiful" in the little girl's eyes. We don't love people because they are beautiful - they are beautiful because we love them.The illustrations are beautiful.
