This is an easy one for me. I fell in <3 with this kids book the first time I read it and was in tears by the last page.
This book is simply about the love a mother feels for her child. She sings to her baby every night "I love you forever I like you for always,as long as your living my baby you'll be" through out the book and show the child growing up and the mother still continues to sing this to her "baby"
Soon her son turns into a man.... and she continues to try to hold him in her arms and rock him....even though her hair has now turned gray and her body frail.
By the end of the story you see the son now hold his elderly mother in his arms...the woman who cared for him and never failed to scoop him up in her arms, not matter how old,no matter how heavy, no matter how weak she may have felt.....he now held her in his arms and sings,
"I love you forever I like you for always as long as your living my baby you'll be"
{don't want to spoil detail's if you have yet to read it...this is the gist of it}
Such an amazing story of the love and bond between a mother and child. This book comes both about a daughter and a son.....read it!!!
