Mama Seeton's Whistle by Jerry Spinelli

Great family story of love and belonging, family adventures and returning home. It seems to be set in 50/60s - to more modern era at end. There are 4 children in the family. Shows the mother pregnant several times. I really enjoyed it and as the mom who will have an empty nest in a few more years...got me a bit teary-eyed.



We just read this for Mother's Day! I loved it - had me all teary-eyed too.

Thank you for recommending this. I just bought it outright on a whim for my son's godparents/family. The mother uses a whistle just like this to call her children in from outdoors or whenever it is time to leave. It really is a charming book. I might have to get a copy for myself!
