When our children are babies, we all long to keep them that way forever. They are so sweet and cuddly when they're babies. They don't talk back and don't mess up their rooms. But at the same time, it is amazing watching our children grow and change into young men and women and seeing all of the things they accomplish. "If I Could Keep You Little" by Marianne Richmond is a book that understands a parent's desire to have it both ways. While we long to keep our children babies that need us, we also want need to let them go, just a little bit at a time. The book walks you through all life's achievements from their first art project to the day they graduate, all with adorable rhyming couplets. Here is an example:
"If I could keep you little,
I'd decide on matching clothes.
But then I'd miss you choosing
Dots on top and stripes below
If I could keep you little
I'd cut your bread in shapes.
But then I'd miss you finding
"Hey! I like ketchup with my grapes!"
If you would like to learn about this book, you can visit Marianne Richmond's website. In addition to children's books, she also has some adorable jewelry, bookmarks, and more. The book is available for the low price of $15.99 and is the perfect book for any family with young children.
