makes me cry every time! 
2008-05-27
I had to buy this book when I read only a few pages of it. Not only did I buy it for my 1 year old but then for his grandmom and my best friend who just had a baby. Its a beautifully simple message that you want to teach your children and remind your parents about. Enjoy and buy many copies to give to your friends and family!

I found this to be a very touching and moving book. My daughter is only 6 mos. old, but after reading the reviews, I really wanted to get my hands on this book... and I was not disappointed. I get really bored reading the predictable, repetitive baby books over and over, but this one is truly special and one in which I savor every page. Just like the flap on the book says, I immediately wanted to share it.
Just read this last night...WONDERFUL! 2008-05-09
I was at the bookstore last night and picked this up because the cover intrigued me...what a wonderful book! I didn't purchase it there, as I intended on purchasing through Amazon, but I will highly recommend to anyone I know. Such simple, beautiful sentiments of love between mother and child. There aren't enough moving books like this out there for parents to share with their children. Don't hesitate with this one...it's worth all five stars!

Beautiful book - best for your daughter.

I got this one for my baby but when I read it it seems better suited for a little girl than my little guy. Other than that it is a lovely book.
Can't help but cry. 2008-06-26
I bought this book for my children and I now I am buying a copy for my mother. It brings tears to my eyes each time I read it and my boys just love it. It's a necessary book for any mother or for anyone who has a mother.
Makes me cry 2008-06-12
I bought this book for my daughter when she recently had her first child, my first grandchild. I cried when I first read it - and I'm not ususally a tearful, sentimental person. It expresses my feelings as I see life moving on into a new generation of my family and the poignancy of new life contrasted to the eventual end of life for each of us.
Will bring you to tears! 2008-06-09
I checked this book out of the library on a whim one day and as I was reading it to my daughter, I couldn't even read a couple of the pages because I'm such a sentimental thing and started to bawl. I instantly went to Amazon to buy a copy for my daughter and two for baby gifts. A tad schlocky at times, but a wonderful gift for a new mom, who is probably so hormonal that she, too, will be moved to tears. Lovely pictures and a lovely book!
Can't read this without crying 2008-06-01
From reading other reviews, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I received this as a baby gift. There is something very special about this book. The words are simple, only a few per page, but this is a book that has a lot of meaning hidden within. It tugs at my heart. I can't read it to my daughter (3 1/2), because I start crying every time. I do like to look at it myself, because it makes me think about being a granddaughter, daughter, mother, and (hopefully SOMEDAY)a grandmother. I think all new mothers would love this book, and I plan on buying this in the future for my friends that have baby girls.
I don't even have children, but... 2008-05-31
I don't have any children. Frankly, I'm newly married and only 22. But, I saw the cover in a store and thought it was a nice illustration. (I'm a graphic designer, so I sometimes buy things even if just for their packaging. It's a sickness.) I plan to have kids someday (zing!) so I didn't mind taking a peek inside.
I read the book, standing there in the aisle, cover to cover. I literally teared up and had to pause so people didn't think I was crazy. I don't normally get all emotional, let alone in stores...
I quickly noted the title and author to tell my sister-in-law that she should buy this book and read it for her (adopted) daughter.
The illustrations are lovely, and the text is short and sweet with an amazing pace that just touches your heart. As mentioned, it works for adopted children too, which was great for my family.
I would recommend this to anyone with kids, or for a baby shower gift. But, it is more centered around a mother to a daughter, so it probably doesn't read well for boys.
