A Parent's Love

This book truly captures a parent's love for their child. This author has a gift for writing the most poignant things in books for children. The books are more for me than for my son! They give me a way to tell him how I feel about him...and keep his interest with pictures. This is a great book for any parent to read to their child...young and old.

If you have a child, you need this book!

... The illustrations are so sweet -- you can't help but smile at this kid on every page! The story helps children know that their parents love them unconditionally ("...even though it may not show, I love you when you're bad."), and it helps reduce parents' frustrations by reminding us to slow down and enjoy life and each other ("I love the way you take each day in your own unhurried style.") This is a great book!

A Very Loving Story

This story is a wonderful way to answer your child's question "Why do you love me?" I love to snuggle with my children and read this story to them. My children love to look at the vivid illustrations and laugh at the antics of the little boy. I love this story as much as I love "I'll Love You Forever" (not by Hallinan), but I can actually read this story outloud without crying.

My son understands that mommy will always love him.

My son, who is 4 yr old loves this book. He is realizing that it is wrong to have bad behaviors, but I will always love him. This book gives him the courage to admit and talk about what he has done wrong, knowing that I still love him, even though I may be mad. This is truly an amazing book.
