The mother-son relationship is often a painful arrangement of emotions. In their first book, a collection of short stories, Dear Son, Dear Mom, Thoughts I Wanted You to Feel, Hilda Villaverde and son, Ron Fusselman take an unconventional approach to delivering an overview of their lives disintegrating through heartfelt letters to one another with accompanying illustrations by Ron.
In their second book, Dear Son, Dear Mom, Lessons I learned from Somebody, the stories are further developed with letters and illustrations as they discover the ‘Somebody’ they ultimately become. From Hilda’s unconventional pregnancy, an attempted kidnapping, bullying, and a not-so-obvious power of prayer, each tale, an uncomfortable open letter of authenticity and captivating honesty grips the reader to feel the emotions. Two tiny books, each with a big message, a must-read for every parent.
