April 2005 -  With eyes in the back of her head and a kiss that can cure everything, God certainly put a lot of effort into creating Mom. In this beautiful keepsake edition, Erma Bomback's moving words are paired with original art that bring to life the warm portrait of motherhood contained within When God Created Mothers (Andrews McMeel Publishing, April 2005, $9.95). Nearly 30 years ago, When God Created Mothers appeared in Bombeck's Mother's Day column and stole hearts across America. Balancing humor and affection, an angel marvels at the detail and overtime that the good Lord puts into his creation. This story offers a touching description of all the characteristics a mother must possess, including:
- She has to be completely washable, but not plastic.
- She has to run on black coffee and leftovers.
- She has to have three pairs of eyes and six pairs of hands.
- She has to be too soft and tough.
Nearly ten years after her death, When God Created Mothers republishes one of Bombeck's most popular columns as an illustrated book. Every mother will treasure this moving tribute, penned by America's most beloved expert on motherhood. About the Author Beloved for her wry yet warm look at family life, Emma Bombeck was America's favorite humorist at the time of her death in 1996. Ten of her 13 books, including Forever, Emma, appeared on the New York Times best-seller list. She claimed her first fiction writing was the weather forecast in the Dayton Herald. Her favorite food was pasta, and her hobby was dust. When God Created Mothers
