Unwrapping Some Illustrations

The Book

This is such a sweet tender story about a mother and her darling little boy. She is a busy working mom and all through her day she never stops thinking about him and what he may be doing while at school. She dreams what he may be up to time and time again and repeats the phrase..."And I think about you!"

As she proceeds through her intense workday the reader gets a glimpse of what she imagines her little boy may be engaged in doing. The fun part is when you turn the page you see her child in a parallel activity at school similar to what she is up to at her work. I really love the comparisons.

No matter what the two are doing while apart it's their love that connects them together every moment of the day. That beautiful bond can never be broken as they are strongly joined heart-to-heart.

The illustrations are wonderful and we can visually see and feel the love between the parent and child. This heartwarming book is a perfect bedtime... or anytime one to share. I highly recommend it.
