This book almost made me cry。 I do feel like this is less of a children's book and more of a mothers book。 It was beautifully written， and made me emotional and I don't even have children or necessarily want children。 It made me think of my own mother watching me grow up， and then in turn having to watch her grow old。 The illustrations were simple and pretty。 This book was heartwarming。 This book almost made me cry。 I do feel like this is less of a children's book and more of a mothers book。 It was beautifully written， and made me emotional and I don't even have children or necessarily want children。 It made me think of my own mother watching me grow up， and then in turn having to watch her grow old。 The illustrations were simple and pretty。 This book was heartwarming。 。。。more

Beautiful story about a mothers love for a child and how precious life is。 Reminds me about how fast the years go by。 Would be a great read aloud in my classroom。

I want to love this book but something about it just doesn’t hit me。 The illustrations are beautiful and the concept is very touching。 But idk。 I want to love it so bad but it doesn’t do anything for me。 😭

A beautiful story from Alison McGhee and Peter H。 Reynolds。 This book tells about how mother love her daughter。 She tells about her daughter since she was born。 She knows as a baby， her daughter relies on her so much。 But， she realizes that one day her baby will grow up and independent。 She will leave her alone and live with her own will。She also imagines that her daughter someday will be a mother like her。 She believes that her daughter will be doing the best thing for the future daughter like A beautiful story from Alison McGhee and Peter H。 Reynolds。 This book tells about how mother love her daughter。 She tells about her daughter since she was born。 She knows as a baby， her daughter relies on her so much。 But， she realizes that one day her baby will grow up and independent。 She will leave her alone and live with her own will。She also imagines that her daughter someday will be a mother like her。 She believes that her daughter will be doing the best thing for the future daughter like she did。 She hopes when that day comes， she will be remembered as a mother who really loves her daughter。 。。。more

In simple text and illustrations， the story tells how a mother watches her baby girl grow up， leave the house and become a mom herself。 Love comes full circle。

un giorno io ricorderò mia mamma come la più grande rompiscatole di tutti i tempi。。 ma anche come la donna più importante della mia vita。il giorno del mio ventesimo compleanno mi ha regalato questo libricino， ma tra la fretta e gli auguri l'ho messo su un ripiano della mia libreria。 oggi l'ho finalmente preso in mano e non poteva esserci cosa migliore。 proprio oggi， infatti， ho preso una delle decisioni più importanti della mia vita e si， nonostante io abbia 20 anni， ormai， ho chiesto a mia madr un giorno io ricorderò mia mamma come la più grande rompiscatole di tutti i tempi。。 ma anche come la donna più importante della mia vita。il giorno del mio ventesimo compleanno mi ha regalato questo libricino， ma tra la fretta e gli auguri l'ho messo su un ripiano della mia libreria。 oggi l'ho finalmente preso in mano e non poteva esserci cosa migliore。 proprio oggi， infatti， ho preso una delle decisioni più importanti della mia vita e si， nonostante io abbia 20 anni， ormai， ho chiesto a mia madre di darmi un consiglio。 no， chiedere consigli alla mamma non è da mammoni。 è solo che non si può sempre fare tutto da soli。 anche fra cent'anni， poi， la mamma rimarrà sempre la mamma。 e di lei mi fido。 mi fido ciecamente。 anche se a volte è proprio rompiscatole， con le sue urla sconclusionate perché non l'aiuta nessuno in casa e con le sue 394 raccomandazioni diverse。。 ma ha anche dei difetti :）insomma， io e mamma siamo legate dai libri。 e ancora una volta mi ha dimostrato quanto ci tenga a me。。 attraverso dei pezzi di carta♡è un libro bellissimo， mi è scesa la lacrimuccia， sul serio ;-; 。。。more

There is no way that I will ever be able to read this book and not burst into tears。 Maybe I will have to share this with them when they are older， if they have kids of their own。

Beyond adorable。 I of course had to read this when I was already feeling emotional with how fast my babies are growing。 This book features the unconditional， undying love that a mother has for her baby， child， teen， adult， and older adult。 It features different ups and downs within life and always—Mom is there。 I can’t wait to give this to my kids。 This book would be a wonderful graduation， wedding， or baby shower book that highlights a special bond that will never be broken， even as life change Beyond adorable。 I of course had to read this when I was already feeling emotional with how fast my babies are growing。 This book features the unconditional， undying love that a mother has for her baby， child， teen， adult， and older adult。 It features different ups and downs within life and always—Mom is there。 I can’t wait to give this to my kids。 This book would be a wonderful graduation， wedding， or baby shower book that highlights a special bond that will never be broken， even as life changes and distance comes 。。。more

Esta hecho muy estéticamente pero ahora mismo no lo veo para leerselo a mi peque de 5 años y que piense que un día no estaremos。Ya tocará más adelante。Esta muy bien escrito y se lee en menos de 5 mins pero al pasar las etapas tan rápido deja un poso un poco triste

5 stars if you're looking for a five-alarm snotbomb。 Not actually a book for reading to children unless you need your tears to perform some kind of magical restorative on them。 5 stars if you're looking for a five-alarm snotbomb。 Not actually a book for reading to children unless you need your tears to perform some kind of magical restorative on them。 。。。more

The book is very emotional and nicely illustrated。But - my opinion - man， this is way overpriced！！！Has just a few pages， one small illustration for each double page and 2-3lines……It could have also shown a baby boy or baby girl - no， it’s clearly a daughter。。

This is a tender little book about a mom watching her child grow up。 A little sad at the end when it says someday your hair will glow with silver sun， and you will remember me。

This book is so sweet and touching。 I almost cried at the end， and I don't even have my own children！ I would want this book to keep for myself as an adult and a mother， but I feel that children wouldn't appreciate if it were read to them。 Still， it is a very sweet book that I would like a copy to keep for myself or to give away to a teen who is graduating。 This book is so sweet and touching。 I almost cried at the end， and I don't even have my own children！ I would want this book to keep for myself as an adult and a mother， but I feel that children wouldn't appreciate if it were read to them。 Still， it is a very sweet book that I would like a copy to keep for myself or to give away to a teen who is graduating。 。。。more

Someday is a book about growing up and leaving home。 This book is told from the mother’s point of view。 She speaks the future of what will happen “someday” shortly for her daughter。 It all started when the baby was born， then the girl grows up into a toddler， pre-teenager， teenager， and then goes off to college and soon becomes a young adult with a daughter of her own。 At the beginning of every page， it says “someday” to represent the near future being told through the mother’s perspective。 This Someday is a book about growing up and leaving home。 This book is told from the mother’s point of view。 She speaks the future of what will happen “someday” shortly for her daughter。 It all started when the baby was born， then the girl grows up into a toddler， pre-teenager， teenager， and then goes off to college and soon becomes a young adult with a daughter of her own。 At the beginning of every page， it says “someday” to represent the near future being told through the mother’s perspective。 This is an example of repetition throughout the book。 McGhee has a few other books with the same concept of repetition。 It shows the readers how important the theme of the book is。 It is a powerful tool to use as an author/illustrator。 The book is empathetic but straightforward to show the bond between mother and daughter and how eventually， the baby bird needs to leave the mother’s nest to start her new life of somedays。 The book has beautiful illustrations of double-page spread full-bleed， cut-outs， and crossing over the gutter with text and images。 I selected this book for my author study of Alison McGhee because of how compelling it is。 It is a page-turner as well。 After every page says someday， it makes me want to read more and more。 I ask myself， what is the following near-future perspective that the mother will give to us on this next page？ It provides this aspect and provokes emotions in readers because of the connection between mother and child。 This book can give the readers personal relationships to close family members or relatives。 。。。more

This was a beautiful story， probably really good to read to young kids （babies and toddlers） but I think the impact will be mostly for the adult rather than the child。 The illustrations were beautiful， the text was simple， and to a degree I do want to recommend it to others， I just don't know if my intention would be to recommend it to parent or child。 This was a beautiful story， probably really good to read to young kids （babies and toddlers） but I think the impact will be mostly for the adult rather than the child。 The illustrations were beautiful， the text was simple， and to a degree I do want to recommend it to others， I just don't know if my intention would be to recommend it to parent or child。 。。。more
