I loved the cast of characters portrayed on the cover for Just a Minute More by J.P. Little. My daughter loved seeing a child wearing braces like her.
The contents spoke to me as a parent.
When a baby is first born, new parents never want to put their new bundle down. Their want to cradle them, smell their baby scent.
As their child gets older, parents comfort them when they are scared—like during a storm.
We attempt to keep up with child(ren) during imaginative play. Monique Machut conveyed perfectly the boundless energy a child posses. They are like the Energizer Bunny—they keep going and going.
J.P. Little (the author) included milestones that leave a lasting impression on a parent. Memories that we cherish and bring a tear to our eyes: first dance and moving away to college.
When I had my first child, my mother told me that time moves fast, and before you know it, your child will be an adult. She was right. I recall when my oldest went off to college. I hugged him goodbye three times. I knew he needed to go off and start the next chapter in his life, but it pained me to see my little boy leave home.
When you read this story, remember to cherish the time you have with your child. All the snuggles. All the times you have to make and tear down blanket forts. Remember each one because they won't be little for long.
