"Children are only little for a blink; then, they are all grown up. Make sure to make each moment matter." ~ (Unknown)
Love blooms for a baby before their first breath of air. We spend months imagining what they will look like. Will they have their mother's smile? Their father's eyes? And when we see and hold our baby for the first time, we are filled with love and happiness. Like the mother in Forever and Always By Your Side, we are so proud to be this darling child's mother.Â
During my first pregnancy, many mothers advised me to enjoy every moment because the years would fly by, and before I knew it, my baby would be graduating from school. They were right. As I read Forever and Always By Your Side, happy memories began to surface. My reactions to my child's first word, first step, first time actively trick or treating, first lost tooth, and other pivotal childhood milestones mirrored the mothers in this beautifully crafted picture book. We smile when they do. We cheer on their accomplishments, such as riding a bike without training wheels or performing on stage. We cherish every Mother's Day card and every planned or spontaneous adventure together. And each night, as we kiss our child goodnight, we know you won't be little forever but vow to always be by your side.Â
Forever and Always By Your Side is a book that resonates with all parents, regardless of their family dynamic. It's a thoughtful gift for any expectant parent, as it beautifully captures the universal experience of parenthood. The diverse cast in the book ensures that every child can see themselves on the page, and the inclusion of a mother in a wheelchair is a testament to the author and illustrator's commitment to representing all families.Â
I recommend reading Forever and Always By Your Side and creating a memory book so you and your daughter can relive your cherished moments together for many years. Make it a tradition to view your homemade book every year on your child's birthday.
Amazon's recommended reading age is baby through 6 years. That is an appropriate age range since the timeline in the story is birth to kindergarten graduation.Â
(Side note: "By" is a preposition, and prepositions are not capitalized in a title unless they are the first word. You'll notice that I capitalized it in my critique. I did so to stay true to what the author presented on Amazon, Reedsy, and the cover. Review written on 9/22/2024.)
