Sunday Times bestselling author and Instagram sensation Jessica Urlichs returns with a new collection of beautifully observed poems about the ever-evolving journey of motherhood - the hard, the magic, and the fleeting.

A mother is born the moment her children are, growing and blossoming alongside them. They Bloom Because of You is a celebration of that profound journey - a testament to the significance of mothering, and the quiet, extraordinary beauty of watching our children unfurl into who they are meant to be.

Through words that have comforted millions, Jess Urlichs has become that gentle, unwavering friend - the voice that walks beside mothers through shimmering highs and the darkest, sleepless nights. In this new and deeply personal collection, her poetry resonates with fresh meaning as she reflects on the ever-changing joys and challenges of raising her growing family.

Whether Jess’s words have already touched your heart or you are discovering them for the very first time, this collection will leave you feeling held, seen, and deeply moved - with an ever-deepening love for your children and the journey of motherhood itself.

The first time I read something Jessica wrote, it lifted the postpartum fog I was in. And I was deeply grateful to have someone put into words what I was feeling but couldn’t express. This book is not just something you read once. It’s a companion that allows us to be all we are as mothers and women with no judgement and instead love. It’s a book to keep close and come back to over and over again like you would a best friend
