Book Cover:
Book Summary: This story follows the love
between a little boy and his mother. A
mother’s love is unwavering as her son goes through his different stages of
life from baby to adult. Every night the
mother rocks her son when he’s asleep and sings him a little song, which he
remembers when he rocks her when she’s old and sick. The book ends with the son coming home to
rock and sing to his own baby.

Impressions: I remember
the first time my mother read this book she couldn’t help but cry as she read
it aloud to her four children. We would
always bring her tissues anytime she’d read the book after that. It is a very touching story of a mother’s
unconditional love, which her son realizes for himself as an adult. The first time I read the story to my own
son, I felt the same emotion I remember my mom experiencing and by the end had tears
in my own eyes.
Professional Review:
"This
story was an ABSOLUTE favorite of mine growing up and always made me feel more
close to my parent that was reading it too me. At the time when I was very
young I just thought it was a sweet story, but the older I get the more it
touches my heart. I knew as soon as I became a mother myself it was going to be
one of the first books I purchased for my child. Even now, I can’t get through
reading it without getting choked up."

Library Use: This book appeals to all ages so while Love
You Forever should most likely be located in the picture books it can be used
for story times and as inspiration and encouragement to children, parents, and
grandparents alike. It would be a great
book to read during a special Mother’s Day reading or Grandparents Day.
