It's Always Been You

It's Always Been You is a poetic, artistic rendering of a mother's love story to her child. The message of the book reveals the "greatest secret of them all," the reality that within and all around her child there is a love bigger than anything they could imagine.

This book will allow a mother or father to speak words of love and care over their children. Before a baby is able to understand the words, the parent can use this book as a reminder about their purpose in parenting, and about the grand love that has been given to them to pass on to their children. The beauty of nature, the way a mother kisses their baby goodnight, and the wonder of the stars all point to the love that is out there, and within them, just for them.
