The artwork by Lucy Fleming is absolutely delightful， and kids could have fun just looking at these illustrations。 It is accompanied by rhyming text praising the young child character and reminding the character of mother's love。 The meter is sometimes a tad off， but the sentiment is relatable。 If you're a fan of Linsey Davis， or want a gorgeously illustrated book for kids， you may enjoy this one。 The artwork by Lucy Fleming is absolutely delightful， and kids could have fun just looking at these illustrations。 It is accompanied by rhyming text praising the young child character and reminding the character of mother's love。 The meter is sometimes a tad off， but the sentiment is relatable。 If you're a fan of Linsey Davis， or want a gorgeously illustrated book for kids， you may enjoy this one。 。。。more

Sometimes， we forget that children are not tiny adults。 They are still learning about life and growing and they should enjoy being able to learn and grow in a safe space。 This book reminds us to treat children as children and to not force them to grow up too fast。

Absolutely beautiful！ A wonderful story of love and joy， accompanied by bright and warm illustrations。 We see the children grow and experience new things， with their parents lovingly by their side。 Also great to see the diversity of children and families。 This is perfect bedtime story， and amazing gift for new or soon to be parents。 Truly loved this。Thank you to NetGalley， Linsey Davis （author） and Lucy Fleming （Illustrator） for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。

I received an electronic ARC from Zonderkidz-Books through NetGalley。Lovely illustrations and beautiful text。 Davis has created a touching book to show how much a parent loves their child。 She expresses the wish that our children will remain dreamers and explorers knowing they have a safe haven to return to。 The illustrations capture the power of the words。 Readers can feel the action happening as they see the encouragement unfold。

Thank you Zonderkidz-Books and NetGalley for the advance digital reading copy of this book。This is going to be my new baby shower gift recommendation！ This book beautifully explains how important it is to hang on to the memories of your child as they grow up because they grow up too quickly。 The illustrations highlight the text with beautiful muted colors， my favorite images were the nighttime illustrations。

This begins with a nighttime scene that is aimed at children， but is reminiscent of Van Gogh’s beauty in Starry Night， and it continues to share a touch of that in every page， making this a joy to read， and a joy， visually， as well。’The sleepy sun is setting， and another day is done。The lightning bugs have dimmed their lights and bedtime has begun。’ This is how the story begins， with the swirling nighttime sky as background， but it continues to share the love of a parent for their child， and to This begins with a nighttime scene that is aimed at children， but is reminiscent of Van Gogh’s beauty in Starry Night， and it continues to share a touch of that in every page， making this a joy to read， and a joy， visually， as well。’The sleepy sun is setting， and another day is done。The lightning bugs have dimmed their lights and bedtime has begun。’ This is how the story begins， with the swirling nighttime sky as background， but it continues to share the love of a parent for their child， and to share the things that the parent will always remember and cherish， the things that make them unique， from the way they wake up each morning to the generosity of showing and sharing love， to the sound of something as sweetly innocent as their giggles。 This was such a joy to read， loved how this covers such a diverse topic of things and ways that show how each child is uniquely wonderful。This beautiful book is the third book by news correspondent Linsey Davis。 I loved this story as well as the illustrations， making this a must for me to buy as soon as possible for some of the youngest ones in my family。 It is aimed at ages 4-8， but I think younger readers will enjoy it at their own level， and I think parents will love it for the lovely message on diversity and acceptance it shares。Published: 23 Feb 2021Many thanks for the ARC provided by Zonderkidz / Zonderkidz-Books 。。。more
