From the beloved Today show host Sheinelle Jones comes an inspiring collection of heartfelt life-lessons from hard working moms who raised some of our favorite celebrities.
When Sheinelle Jones launched ''Through Mom's Eyes,'' a recurring Today show segment interviewing celebrities' mothers about raising successful kids, she had an ulterior motive-she wanted to bring all their wisdom to bear on raising her own three children. So she asked Lin-Manuel Miranda's mom about staying present with kids while balancing a demanding career, talked with Lady Gaga's mom about how to recognize bullying, and got tips from Steph Curry's mom on making sure even future NBA royalty does his chores. She has since interviewed dozens of remarkable women and gathered a candid, warm, and insightful collection of valuable lessons about life, love, and parenthood.
Now in her first book, Through Mom's Eyes, Sheinelle is ready to share even more of those life-changing secrets with the world. Combining insights from celebrity mothers with her own journey through modern parenting, Sheinelle reveals how to make it through the hard parts of motherhood and still tap into the joys of it with empathy, generosity, and solidarity. Through Mom's Eyes is a beautiful celebration of those who are the guiding light for their loved ones-mothers.
Sheinelle Jones is the cohost of Today with Jenna and Sheinelle on NBC. She's also the host of Through Mom's Eyes, a digital and broadcast series for Today where she interviews mothers of celebrities to discuss their journeys raising successful children. She lives in New York City with her three kids.
