Customer Reviews

Finally a great book for single mommies!

I am a single divorced mom of an amazing 2 yr old whose father is not involved in his life (his choice, but it's for the better). It is so frustrating to get a book only to start reading it and there's that D word (he has no idea what Daddy means so I just change it to Papa for his grandpa!). This book is wonderful because it sends a loving message that your child is loved and wanted more than anything. I love this book!

Perfect book for a single parent

This book got it just right! Perfect, comforting book for the child and for the adult. Well written and beautifully illustrated, this book is a joy for anyone but especially those in single-parent families.

A truly heartwarming and entertaining story

Deftly written and colorfully illustrated by Warren Hanson, Raising You Alone is a wonderfully presented picturebook that uses a family of rabbits to illustrate the quirks and challenges that single-parent families must deal with. A truly heartwarming and entertaining story Raising You Alone presents the loving relationship of a parent and child through many day-today situations. Ideal for young readers preschool through first grade, Raising You Alone is both timely and timeless -- and should be a part of every elementary school and community library picturebook collection for young readers.

A much needed book!

There are many single parent families in our culture and now here is a children's book about being a single parent. Raising You Alone, by Warren Hanson is a straight-forward story about the difficulties of being a single parent and the frustrations of being the kid of a single parent. Raising You Alone discusses all the issues that face a single parent family: loss, loneliness, and the lack of money and time. But those problems are balanced by the sharing of good times and the making of memories. Raising You Alone is a sweet book that celebrates the strength of family. It is one that will be read again and again. The message from the parent is that while there may be struggles, there will also be wonderful times and no matter what, "I will always love you, and will do my best at raising you alone." Now that is security. Armchair Interviews says: Raising You Alone is an essential book for all of those single parent families.
