Love the wide straps!
Just a construction note: make sure you double, even tripple stitch the handles, especially if your mom is planning on carrying books. They are really heavy! Extending the handles into the body of the purse about an inch or so and securing with stitches in an "X" pattern is a good practice.
Love the colors too!

I love totes, and have made tons for myself and gifts!! I love yours!! And you're right, the straps are just right for carrying heavy books.
The fabrics are great, and I think your mom is gonna love it.
