I bought this book on a whim while purchasing another book for my son. I am so glad that I did! I could barely finish reading, I was crying so much. My son was born a preemie at 24 weeks, and for the longest time, we didn't know if he would have a 'someday'. The only way I was able to survive the 3 1/2 months in NICU, was dreaming of my son's future. This book took all of my thoughts and hopes and put them on paper. The illustrations are breathtaking in their sweet simplicity.
I don't think this is book is just fot the mother/daughter relationsip. It is more for all mothers/fathers and their children. As a mother who intends to read books like 'Little Women' to mmy son, I am not bothered that it pictures a girl instead of a boy. The sentiment is the same. I wish I had found this book while DS was in the hospital. It would have been a wonderful addition to "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss.

I was at babies r us shopping for my first baby and I came across this wonderful book. I picked it up and as I reading it made me cry in the store. It touched me due to two things, it reminded of me and my mother, and it made me think of my son. It was poetic and so beautiful, it is the perfect book for any new mothers. I would of got it right in the store but it was 16 bucks and I knew amazon would have it for cheaper, they always do.

Rating: - Gift to my 1 year old daughter
I happened upon this book by chance and as I read it in the store, I began to cry... it really hit a note with me. Simple and beautiful. I bought it and gave it to my 1 year old daughter on her birthday. She doesn't understand it now, of course, but my inscription in the book will be with her as she grows up and I think it'll be a wonderful keepsake and memory for her - that I read this book to her. Of course, I hope one day to get through it without crying...
Rating: - Can't help but cry.
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.
