Customer Reviews

Great childrens author

Rain Song and Snow Dance are works of absolute genius, so I bought the rest of her books. This one's a bit derivative and the writing feels clumsy in places, but very pretty and emotive. The sentiment is right on. My 2yr-old son loves it, and that's the most important thing. If you like this one, check out Margaret Wise Brown's Runaway Bunny, Lisa McCourt's I Love You Stinky Face, and Heather Patricia Ward's I promise I'll find you.

Warm and sentimental

Despite the fact that my daughter is 13 and well past the recommended age group for reading this book, I couldn't resist adding this heartwarming book to our library. It is a testament to the unconditional love that a mother has for a child. It is a book to last through generations.

Wonderfull! Beautifully written & awesome illustration!

This is a very, very touching & heartwarming book! My children and I loved it..!!!!! Makes your heart sing...as a Mother that is! Loved it and the illustrater was the BEST!!!!!

Mothers everywhere will understand this book perfectly

As a mother of 5 children I appreciated the perfect love this mother had for her child. No matter in what condition the mother found herself she still looked after her precious child. The author has a perfect understanding of what it means to be a mother.

One of the year's best new books!

This book will certainly delight any child and will provide the parent and child great moments together. Through written word and excellent illustration, Evans and Lisi have created a masterpiece that will warm hearts for many years. A "must have" for the book enthusiast.
