About this title

Review:

The mother sings to her sleeping baby "I'll love you forever, I'll love you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be". She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. So far, so ordinary--but this is one persistent lady. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing in to her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw's comic and yet poignant pastels. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr

The one book that has the most meaning to me.

No one can read this without the tears falling.

Best-selling classic of a parent's enduring love is available in a gift edition.

There is a powerful, age-old resonance to the story, centered on that intangible, steadfast bond between mother and child.

Sentimental story that has long been a favorite gift at baby showers. -- Karen T.Bilton "Bridgewater Courier News" (04/26/2005)
