To celebrate Mother's Day, Mom might enjoy reading "A Letter to My Mom" (Crown Archetype, $22), a collection of letters and photos, including tributes from celebrities such as Kristin Chenoweth, Kelly Osbourne, Shania Twain, will.i.am and more. Talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw writes, for instance, "Even at my age, I still do my best not to disappoint you." Put together by Lisa Erspamer.
