    If I Could Keep You Little

    Written By Marianne Richmond

    Ages: 3-7 | 32 Pages

    What to expect: Family, Love

    This sweet, inspiring book will speak straight to a parent’s heart, exploring the powerful feeling that every parent has: the push/pull feeling of wanting your child to grow and savoring and holding on to every moment.

    If I Could Keep You Little takes the reader on a journey of memory and expectation, exploring real insights into the human spirit. Marianne’s artwork beautifully illustrates these complex emotions and her insightful prose showcases the fleeting little moments that reveal how a child changes and grows.

      How true it is: if I could keep you little. The time passed so quickly that I had with my daughter. There are definitely things that I would have done differently but will have to be satisfied with the fact that I did the best that I could at that time. This book definitely speaks to my heart, and I would so love to win it.

      Thank you,

      Christine

      My grandkids are so into the rhyming books. This would be perfect for both my 1st graders.

      Happy Thanksgiving to all.

      My son is due January 7,2011. I found this book at a local target and read it in the store and just cried. He isn’t even hear yet and I already feel all the emotions of him growing up to fast. I would absolutely love to win and share this book with my son as he grows up through the years.
