Review Detail

Every morning when this mom kisses her child goodbye, and walks out the door, she feels something in her heart . . .and it's her child, held close. No matter where she is, what she's doing, or how she's feeling, she always has that dear little person inside.

In tender, gentle words of mother to child, she tells how she is accompanied, that she is never lonely and always has that secret companion to talk with. Then the mom turns the table, pointing out that within her child, deep in her child's heart no matter what is going on, Mom is inside her child's heart along with all child's other treasured friends and relatives.

Never smarmy, always clearly told, this brilliantly illustrated picture book will wrap reader and read-to alike in softness and warmth, celebrating the bonds that pull us together.
