Top 9 Thoughtful Books to Gift to Your Mother on March 8th

"This book is filled with unspoken words of gratitude for mothers. A gift dedicated to all the young mothers in the world!"

“I silently thought to myself as I watched my mother’s figure fade into the distance, I hope you will love yourself, just as you have loved me. I hope that in every moment, whether washing dishes, tidying up, or cooking, you won’t forget how monumental, precious, and beautiful you are. Everything you do under the title 'mother' deserves respect. I hope you become a mother who encourages herself. A mother who occasionally rewards herself and does wonderful things for herself, not just sacrificing everything for others. A mother who understands that shining brightly herself is what makes the whole family shine.”

Because my mother once lived this way. Because all mothers in the world live this way. I hope that from now on, you no longer have to dream someone else’s dream. I hope you can freely dream the beautiful dreams of your own. I hope those dreams will come true.

I truly hope you will love yourself.”

Every time a little one enters the world, the whole family is always on standby, taking care of and providing the best conditions for both mother and child to grow up healthy. But in the novel “Room” by Emma Donoghue, what does the mother need to raise Jack when everything has been reduced to the bare minimum: a space smaller than 10 square meters, eight locked doors, no way out, limited food, and frequent abuse and rape? The answer: undying love, the love of a mother.

Donoghue has created another remarkable image of a mother in literature. A mother of complete sacrifice, boundless optimism, vivid imagination, humor, and warmth, nurturing the soul of a five-year-old child. In the room, Jack is completely happy and immersed in the fairy tale world his mother creates: objects become People, and there is no distance between language and things. Even though they are confined in the room, the mother always finds a way to overcome the limitations of their living conditions. This novel is truly a hymn to the will to live, to human imagination, and above all, to the sacred, eternal bond of motherhood.

Someone once said, God can't be everywhere, so He created mothers. When we think of our mothers, a deep sense of warmth and familiarity fills our hearts. In this collection of essays, Phong Điệp – a child of a humble, rural mother – opens up to remind us that, no matter the difficulties or failures we face, our mothers are always with us. They are the ones we return to after everything.

The first part of the book, titled 'Sending Love,' carries the emotions of longing, gratitude, and guilt felt by a child remembering the love a mother gave: remembering the smell of rice cooking, fried onions, the scent of garlic in fish sauce, and the longing for the familiar warmth of home during those evenings when city dwellers who are far from their families wish for nothing more than to be back in their mother's smoky kitchen. To the child, that kitchen is the safest, most cherished place, because it is where they are with their mother.

The second part, 'Listening to the Wind, Gathering the Fire,' continues along the same emotional path, with Phong Điệp, now a journalist, sharing the struggles she faced as a young reporter. The essays detail her experiences in Côn Đảo, the nostalgia of her youth, and the reflections of being a mother in the bustling urban life. The stories explore themes like the dawn chorus, the quiet and sacred feeling of walking through Côn Đảo, and the challenges of raising children while working in a demanding profession.

Despite having over twenty books published, many will be surprised to learn that 'Having a Mother in This Life' is Phong Điệp's second collection of essays. In the preface, she confesses the loneliness of being somewhat absent from literary awards, but emphasizes that essays have a meaningful place in literature and journalism. The publisher, Phụ nữ Publishing House, believes this collection will not only make its mark in literature but also in the hearts of readers who appreciate and cherish their mothers!

Simple and modest, My Mother - A Story of Mothers in Prominent Intellectual Families of the 20th Century is a collection of articles written by the children of famous intellectuals and scholars of the 20th century, reminiscing about their mothers—silent heroines who played an integral role in the success of their husbands.

These are the humble, kind-hearted mothers who tirelessly took care of their homes, like Tống Thị Trừng, who supported her daughter, Nguyệt Tú, daughter of painter Nguyễn Phan Chánh, in her pursuit of education despite not having had the privilege of schooling herself. She firmly believed that both boys and girls should be educated if possible.

"Mom says the world has all kinds of people, each with their own way of living, right? She also says differences aren't necessarily bad. But why do those words always feel like exceptions for me?"

Facing unexpected financial struggles, Green has to move back in with her mother. But she doesn't return alone—she brings along her girlfriend, whom she has been with for seven years. The three of them—two generations with deeply different perspectives—will they be able to peacefully coexist under one roof when efforts to find common ground often cause more harm than reconciliation?

Returning Home to Mom, written by the surprisingly mature pen of young author Hyejin Kim, delicately touches on contemporary issues while shedding light on fresh perspectives on family, particularly the relationship between mothers and daughters.
