Review The mother sings to her sleeping baby: Ill love you forever / Ill love you for always / As long as Im living / My baby youll 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 through her grown sons window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when shes too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraws comic and yet poignant pastels.

NutSpace Published On: 2019-03-28 There are certain books about a parents unconditional love for a child that are timeless--and this is one of them. Baltimores Child Published On: 2010-01-20 One of my all-time favorites. I cry every time I read it.... [The book] is a beautiful script about parenthood, a poignant parable about life and death, a testimony to when the roles of child and parent become blurry. The story reminds you that no matter how grown up you are, youre always someones child; that no matter how adult you are, youre never too old to be loved by your parents. It makes me appreciate even more how my mother still calls me and my brother (despite us being 32- and 22-years-old, respectively) by our childhood nicknames, Pussycat and Tchotchke (Yiddish for knickknack). Pigeonholing this as a childrens book is like saying Romeo & Juliet is merely a cautionary tale about drug abuse. I dare anyone to read this story and not shed at least one tear by the end. Its even more poignant when you learn that Munsch wrote the book as a memorial to two still-born children he and his wife had in 1979 and 1980. -- Dana Lenetz Forbes Published On: 2010-04-20 The one book that has the most meaning to me. -- David Maloof Boston Globe Published On: 2002-09-15 There is a powerful, age-old resonance to the story, centered on that intangible, steadfast bond between mother and child. -- Shelley Fralic National Post Published On: 2006-05-15 No one can read this without the tears falling. -- Sharon Owen Madera Tribune Published On: 2003-05-08 The best of Munschs many storybooks... itll give you a new song to sing... and maybe a bit of perspective down the road. -- Leanne Dohy Calgary Herald Published On: 2003-09-25 Sentimental story that has long been a favorite gift at baby showers. -- Karen T.Bilton Bridgewater Courier News Published On: 2005-04-26 A humorous, sentimental page-turner that rarely -- lets say never -- leaves a reader with a dry eye. -- Gayle MacDonald Globe and M
