Description:
A young mother holds her newborn son and sings him a song of endearment. As he grows older, he becomes an active two-year-old, a rebellious teenager, and an adult. Throughout, the mother holds him while he sleeps and sings him the same song. When she grows old and becomes sick, it's the son's turn to hold her and sing it to her--just as he now does with his own baby. This simple story is about the enduring nature of a parent's love and how it crosses the generations.

Customer Reviews
I ordered this book because of it's reputation and have seen it before. My son loves it. However, the description clearly stated the book was hard cover and I got a paperback instead. Disappointed. I guess you get what you pay for.

This book is wonderful. I read it to my boys when they were very little, and purchased one for each, which I have set aside for when they leave the nest. I also purchased a copy for a friend who just adopted a baby. This book shows the love a mother has for a child forever even when they become adults. I Love it!

I absolutely love this book. I got two when I was pregnant. My boy and I sing the key phrase from it to each other. It is a heartwrenching story about the how much love a mom has for her child and then how much that child has for both his mom and his newborn. I still can not read it without crying (loving tears that is). I now buy one for every one of my friends when they are expecting.

Although the book is about a little boy and his relationship with his mother as he grows up, I shared it with my daughters when they were small .....I bought each a fresh new copy for Valentine's Day to remind them that although they are now adults, my love for them is and will always be forever........The book is sentimental, heart warming and speaks of reciprocal devotion and love between a child and parent....and teaches that what our children learn from us, they will pass on to their children. A wonderful read for all generations.
