Summary

If a parent could vocalize all her deepest hopes for her child, this is what she might say...

Every parent has hopes and dreams for their children - that they will play and explore, learn and grow. That they will experience life's many wonders and persevere through its many challenges. That they will one day leave the protection of home and go off into the world - strong, happy, knowing that they are always loved.

Maryann Cusimano Love, author of the modern classic You Are My I Love You , has written another moving ode to parenthood, captured in playful, loving images by brilliant newcomer Maria van Lieshout (Bloom!). This timeless book is perfect for bedtime or anytime.

School Library Journal Review

PreS-According to an author's note, this lullaby is set to an old Mother Goose rhyme. Unlike the original poem, it seeks to encourage children not only to be gentle and calm as lambs, but to be dynamic and confident as well: "Be always like the hound who dares/To find adventure everywhere." The lulling poem is matched with spreads of animal parents and their offspring. The semiabstract cartoon creatures are rendered in ink and watercolor over washes of sunsets and oceans. The result is simultaneously reassuring and celebratory.-Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
