Summary
With three generations of one family we share moments that are meant to be savored in this special book that beautifully illustrates the words John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s world-renowned song “In My Life。”
There are places I’ll remember， in my life， though some have changed。。。
One gift with a bright bow starts a young girl on a path…one her mother follows with her as she explores， grows， and rides off on her own， only to return again with her own daughter in tow。 This hauntingly beautiful book shares the small moments of that journey that are meant to be remembered and savored in the lyrics of this classic song。

Look， yes， it made me tear up。 This song has been played at the funerals of two of my parents--of course I teared up。 I do think the words are more about romantic love， but the gorgeous illustrations and lovely story made up for Santos's alternate interpretation。 It really is a lovely book about the enduring love between a parent and child， which is then passed along to the next generation。 Beauty。 Look， yes， it made me tear up。 This song has been played at the funerals of two of my parents--of course I teared up。 I do think the words are more about romantic love， but the gorgeous illustrations and lovely story made up for Santos's alternate interpretation。 It really is a lovely book about the enduring love between a parent and child， which is then passed along to the next generation。 Beauty。 。。。more

Richie’ Picks: IN MY LIFE by John Lennon and Paul McCartney， illustrated by Genevieve Santos， Simon & Schuster/Little Simon， February 2021， 40p。， ISBN: 978-1-5344-6585-5“I’ve just seen a faceI can’t forget the time or placeWhere we just metShe’s just the girl for meAnd I want all the world to seeWe’ve met， mm-mm-mm-m’mm-mm”So begins the North American version of The Beatles’ 1965 Rubber Soul album， on which the song “In My Life” is included。 The then-brand-spanking-new LP was the highlight of my Richie’ Picks: IN MY LIFE by John Lennon and Paul McCartney， illustrated by Genevieve Santos， Simon & Schuster/Little Simon， February 2021， 40p。， ISBN: 978-1-5344-6585-5“I’ve just seen a faceI can’t forget the time or placeWhere we just metShe’s just the girl for meAnd I want all the world to seeWe’ve met， mm-mm-mm-m’mm-mm”So begins the North American version of The Beatles’ 1965 Rubber Soul album， on which the song “In My Life” is included。 The then-brand-spanking-new LP was the highlight of my Christmas that year， along with a new portable record player and a copy of the soundtrack from The Beatles’ recent Help！ movie。This illustrated version of IN MY LIFE is a great excuse for teachers， librarians， and grandparents to turn kids on to The Beatles， whose work and influence upon American culture is essential twentieth century history。 For those of us who lived in and through Beatlemania， The Beatles helped define our generation。 I don’t know what portion of the country or the world can play “In My Life，” note to note， beginning to end， in their heads， but I know there are a lot of us。 56 years later， this song remains magical and meaningful。 It’s among the most memorable of John Lennon’s lyrics。Illustrator Genevieve Santos utilizes the song’s lyrics as accompaniment to the tale of a young girl who grows up experiencing， and later recalling， the time she spends with her mom， grandma， and big sister， living at the seashore when she is a little kid。 Ultimately， the young girl grows up， has a little girl of her own， and brings the child to the family retreat on the coast where her mother has now become Grandma。No question， the best way to present this book is a simple multimedia experience: Play the song as accompaniment to your turning the pages。 You will need to take some time to rehearse and get used to the rhythm。 There are even a couple of wordless pages in the middle， corresponding with the instrumental break in the middle of the song。The watercolor and ink illustrations feature soft shades of blue， green， and yellow， with some white space。 They remind me of that washed-out， floaty feeling you experience at the end of a long day of playing at the coast。 IN MY LIFE is a lovely book。Richie Partington， MLISRichie's Picks http://richiespicks。pbworks。comhttps://www。facebook。com/richiespicks/https://twitter。com/richiespicks richiepartington@gmail。com 。。。more

A beautiful， understated story of three generations of women。Set to the expressive lyrics of John Lennon （and Paul McCartney）， the visuals here are the memories of a mother and her daughter who live in a lighthouse near an ocean spending time together having fun and making memories they share。 The years pass and the daughter is now a grown woman with her own daughter。 They live nearby the （now） grandmother and are all three making even more beautiful memories together。Mixed media illustrations b A beautiful， understated story of three generations of women。Set to the expressive lyrics of John Lennon （and Paul McCartney）， the visuals here are the memories of a mother and her daughter who live in a lighthouse near an ocean spending time together having fun and making memories they share。 The years pass and the daughter is now a grown woman with her own daughter。 They live nearby the （now） grandmother and are all three making even more beautiful memories together。Mixed media illustrations by Genevieve Santos are light and charming， fitting for this love song。 There are no men or males in this story， as it is about the love these women have for each other - wanting to spend time together in order to make memories that will last into the future。For those not familiar with the song， an ideal way to enjoy this is to turn on a recording of The Beatles or Judy Collins singing this haunting， sweet poem/song as you read along。 Be sure to have a box of tissues handy。Highly Recommended for PreSchool - grade 2。 。。。more

While I love a picture book based on a song， not every song makes a good picture book。 This is one of those。 Also， the illustrations don't relate to the lyrics at all， giving a disjointed feeling。 While I love a picture book based on a song， not every song makes a good picture book。 This is one of those。 Also， the illustrations don't relate to the lyrics at all， giving a disjointed feeling。 。。。more

The lyrics to John Lennon and paul McCartney's song "In My Life" accompanied with illustrations。Something about this didn't work for me。 If you love the Beatles， you will probably like this。 The lyrics to John Lennon and paul McCartney's song "In My Life" accompanied with illustrations。Something about this didn't work for me。 If you love the Beatles， you will probably like this。 。。。more

Yes， Lennon and McCarty wrote it， but this will always be a Judy Collins song to me。。。and the illustrations here just made me cry。 Absolutely beautiful。 I sang my way through the book。。。and welled up so much at the end I couldn't finish。 An excellent book that you don't have to be a Beatles fan （or a Judy Collins fan） to love。 Yes， Lennon and McCarty wrote it， but this will always be a Judy Collins song to me。。。and the illustrations here just made me cry。 Absolutely beautiful。 I sang my way through the book。。。and welled up so much at the end I couldn't finish。 An excellent book that you don't have to be a Beatles fan （or a Judy Collins fan） to love。 。。。more

When you pick up this book， you get one of my most favorite Beatles songs illustrated in a lovely way。 This song means so much to me and I just love how the illustrations take us through a child's love of her bicycle， her mom， and that lighthouse。 It is a perfect little book。 When you pick up this book， you get one of my most favorite Beatles songs illustrated in a lovely way。 This song means so much to me and I just love how the illustrations take us through a child's love of her bicycle， her mom， and that lighthouse。 It is a perfect little book。 。。。more

The artwork is beautiful。 The book is comprised of the lyrics from In My Life by The Beatles。 Being a huge Beatles fan seeing their beautiful lyrics accompanied by fun and colorful artwork makes me so happy。 I can share my love of The Beatles with the next generation
