Designed as a vehicle for creating stronger bonds between Liz Claiborne and its primary market of working women, A Million Moms and Mine is a children’s book co-authored and illustrated by award winning writer Leah Komaiko and a group of talented urban youths who met and worked together at Chicago’s Harold Washington Library.
Exploring the joys and pains the young authors experience in their day to day lives as members of families with working moms, the book is a delightful and moving mix of fact and fantasy, accomplished and naïve image making, innocent questioning and wry observation.
A Million Moms and Mine was published, marketed and sold by Claiborne through retail, catalogue, and 1-800 sales, with proceeds going to Reading Is Fundamental. Featured in arts, business and general interest media often during the course of the project, the book demonstrated Claiborne’s commitment and relevance to working women, and helped raise awareness of literacy issues and programs nationally.
