Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Rating: 5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Denise
Summary: Shares messages about how a parent's presence and devotion can be recognized in the natural world, from a soft breeze to a shimmering star.
Review: What originally urged me to pick up this book was the sweet illustration on the cover of a mom sharing an embrace with her child, surrounded by beautiful nature. This is a simple picture book about the love between a parent and a child, with the message being that they will always be loved by their parents no matter how near or far they may be.
This book would work for a Mother's Day storytime, Valentine's Day storytime, or a storytime about love. I also thin kthis would be a great picture book to use for a younger child who may have lost their parent too soon. Amy Krouse Rosenthal sets out all what she was meaning to do, including writing a touching book that may require you to grab a tissue. I love how nature is used as a symbol of love.
