This book will bring tears to the eyes of any mom! I get teary eyed everytime I read it! I think it is the perfect book for the new mom, the mom who is sending her "baby" to kindergarten or to COLLEGE. It not only gives the mother a wonderful way to express her love, but it gives the child a new way to understand the love! I will be giving these at baby showers for YEARS.
I came across this book at a bookstore on my lunch hour (when I am always trying to keep my connection with my son by shopping for him!).It brought tears to my eyes. The author beautifully expresses what every working mother feels -- sadness when separating from her child, all-consuming thoughts of her child while at work, and absolute joy when they are reunited.My son is only 15 mos. old and may not fully appreciate this book yet, but he will enjoy the beautiful illustrations and the familiar scenes (a pudgy chick getting ready for his nap, playing alongside his friends, etc.).I bought this book as much for myself as for him and will keep it on a high shelf (safe from a toddler's destruction!) along with other books such as In Case You Ever Wonder and Love You Forever to be truly appreciated when he is a little older.This is a gift any working mother and child will treasure forever!
This is a wonderful book to read about the concept of being apart for a time during the day. The illustrations and text are sweet and enjoyable. My daughter loved the fact that a small heart is visible in almost every picture, although you must look carefully. Look for the "swirl" of heart over mom's coffee on one page. We read it when she started school, then I cut some small hearts from felt and tucked them into her pocket or bookbag. It was a small secret for us to share and made the transition easier for both of us.
After hearing about it from a veteran mom, we purchased this book for our 3-year-old who was having a rough time transitioning to preschool (tears, clinging, the works). He loved it immediately and we have read it once a day for the past two or so months. It never gets old, and the message is very sweet and reassuring. The illustrations are also extremely unique (the face on the baby bird looks so human!), and I think that is why it appeals to our toddler so much. I would highly recommend to anyone who is preparing to transition their toddler into the school environment.
The first time I read this book I cried and still have to hold back the tears whenever I read the last page. My 1-year-old loves this book and has me read it to her everyday. It is a must for any working mother who wants her baby to know how much her love is with them during the day when they are apart. The illustrations are beautiful, the rhymes are not too sing-songy, and the sentiment is genuine. A heartfelt recommendation from this mom.
This is a wonderful heart touching book. I stumbeled across this book while I was shopping for a baby shower present. I liked the title and colorful pictures so I decided to buy the book. When I read the story I was amazed. The story was so good! I do not have children but the story moved me. I later read the book to my mother. She started to cry because she remembered how difficult it was to leave me for the first time. This is a wonderful story and I recommed it to everyone!
I bought this book while pregnant. I enjoy reading it to baby girl while she's still in the womb. Books have always been an important part of my life and I hope that by reading to her on a regular basis (starting very earlyyyyyy), maybe she will love books as much as I do. Even if she doesn't, that's fine.Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the message of the book and the illustrations. I currently work full-time and will be going back to work full-time 12 weeks after she's born (Feb 2016). I couldn't make it through the first few pages without tearing up. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be leaving her each day to go back to work. And when she's older and understands the words I will be reading, I hope that this book helps her understand that mommy loves her and misses her when she's at work. On top of the storyline, I really like the illustrations -- they are simple and the colors aren't too bright and bold; this book has a very classic feel to it. I'm not a big fan of books with so much going on (illustration-wise) that it takes away from the story.I really recommend this book as a gift for any mom, most especially for those who work outside the home.
I read this at a book fair and spent the next five minutes trying to hide my teary eyes! I bought one for me, three for friends and family members, and a couple of spares for shower gifts. When I got home, I read it to my 3 1/2 year old and showed her the hearts on each page. We read it four times in a row -- she absolutely loves it!This is a touching, charming book, with beautiful illustrations (I bet every mom will think baby bird looks like her own child!). It's a wonderful way to share with our children how much we love them and how that love never leaves us, even when we're apart -- perfect whether you're a working mom or not!I like this book so much I've already checked out other books by the author and illustrator.BUY IT! You'll love it!
