My favorite line in this elegant volume is whenthe regally dressed Mama fox says to her little one,"I love you any way you feel, no matter what you do."How many of us wonder, "Will they still love me, eventhough I......." fill in your blank?How many times we PRAY the important people inour lives will love us unconventionally and how manytimes do we deny ourselves the comfort of a"Yes, ofcourse I will love you any way... nomatter what you do"?Read this child to the preschooler in your lifeAND be sure your teen-aged children (nieces,nephews, neighbors, passers-by) are listeningas well. Read it often.Read it to yourself when you are feeling low -and allow yourself to be embraced by Mama Fox.It is a less-than-five-minute investmentin contentment, peace and growth inunconventional love... and hopefully the messagewill carry over into the hearts and soulsof the listeners.
A warm and caring story about a mother's love for her child. McPhail's illustrations, of a young fox and his mother interacting in a variety of situations, convey the emotions of both characters throughout the story. Whether happy or sad, frightened or angry, the young fox is reminded of his mother's love. Although not as moving as Love You Forever by Robert Munsch, the illustrations make this book more enjoyable and a better book for sharing one-on-one with young children.
I got choked up the first time I read this to my little one. Such a sweet little story, perfect for bedtime or any time. I am always saying "I love you no matter what, and I will always love you." This book is so specific and spells out all the ways that a parent loves a child unconditionally. It's helpful for instilling a sense of security that a child can never lose your love, no matter what. So sweet! And the illustrations are beautiful.
This book was recommended to us by a friend and my husband and I absolutely love reading it to our son before bedtime. We love how it teaches both parents and child the importance of unconditional love. Parents should make their children feel their love and acceptance for who they are early in life so they too will learn how to value and love themselves.
My grandchildren are acquiring a love of books because of books like this one.It is sweet and engaging and reinforces my feelings for them every time their mother readsit to them. Very satisfied with seller's speed of delivery and condition of the book.
Great addition to my son's library; it illustrates the things most mothers feel for their kids but don't always express as plainly. It's our special book. We bought it used and it arrived quickly and in nearly perfect condition. Imagine it'll remain in our collection for years to come.
I love this book! I pull it out frequently when my kids are having a hard day, or when I am getting frustrated with them. I want them to know they are loved because of who they are and not what they do or how they act! A very important lesson!
My daughter received the paper version as a baby shower present from her great grandparents. I've read it to her daily for the past year...it's in total shambles now. I'm so glad I found it in paperboard! She loves this book so much and so do I. (Julie B)
