Books – A selection for our moms

by Laëtitia Cadiou


Let’s celebrate our moms with a selection of books! Whether they are poetic, fashion fans, business leaders, gourmets or travelers, this year we’re giving moms a message through reading. A nice selection of various books for a moment of sharing that they will love.

Poetic Mom

We found Apollo, a tender and poetic book that underlines the upheavals of beings at the birth of a child. Very nice collection written by the author Mélanie Richoz and illustrated by the mischievous sensitivity of Kotimi, who both succeed in gently inscribing the challenges that the couple and the family can overcome at the arrival of the baby.

Fashion Mom

Did you know that the world-famous fashion designer with the romantic life not only lived in Lausanne but also decided to be buried there. 50 years after her death, journalist Marie Fert investigated to bring us new information on the story of her years of exile in Switzerland.

Entrepreneurial Mom

Many are those who are starting out… And many are those who wonder: is it possible to reconcile professional life and family life? Does choosing one mean sacrificing the other? Faced with these questions, it sometimes seems difficult to take the step. Marine André, the author, proposes to guide women who hesitate. She addresses both mothers who have a personal project and women entrepreneurs who want to have children. The author delivers a concrete and positive testimony: being a mother entrepreneur is completely possible, here is how! She did it… so why not you?

Here is a book that should make her task easier!  65 recipes, all classics that will have titillated our taste buds and lulled our childhood: marbled, pound cake, yogurt cakes or rolled cakes.
