“Love You Forever” | The Perfect Book for Mothers

I read a book in which the author recommended the book called Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.

The book “Love You Forever” makes a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.

When I read it for the first time, it made my cry three times. Each time I started to cry I put down the book to catch my breath only to continue crying once I started reading again. Let me mention, the book ONLY has 14 short pages of text!!

This timeless story of a mother’s constant and enduring love for her child puts into words the emotions that mothers feel.

I say it’s the perfect book for mothers because if I had read “Love You Forever” before I became a mother, I know I would not have reacted to it the same way.

It’s because with the blessing of motherhood, I’ve come to experience a new and different type of love – the love a mother has for her child.

The mother in the book sings about her love this way as she rocks her sleeping child at night:

I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.

Love You Forever has instantly become one of my favorite books and it’s now one of my go-to gifts for baby showers and new moms. It also makes a great Mother’s Day gift.
