I started reviewing children's book years ago, and recently an industry professional recommended I share those reviews on my blog. I hope you benefit from reading my reviews and find a few titles to purchase for the children in your life--whether they are your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or neighbors. Enjoy!
My Arms Will Hold You Tight
by Crystal Bowman and Teri McKinley
Illustrated by Anna Kubaszewska
Precious!
My Arms Will Hold You Tight, a precious board book by best-selling author Crystal Bowman and her daughter, Teri McKinley, is a perfect read for young children. The sweet, gentle rhymes describe a loving relationship between parent and child. Because the dreamy illustrations (by Anna Kubaszewska) portray animal parents and their young, this book represents both mothers and fathers. As the title indicates, this book describes hugging when your happy or sad, dancing or still.
My favorite verse is:
“I’ll hold you at night
to make starlight wishes
and tickle your cheeks
with firefly kisses.”
I downloaded a complimentary, digital copy of this book to write a review, and am looking forward to buying a copy for a baby shower gift. It has just the right tone for showing children they are cherished and loved. –Amy Houts, author of God’s Protection Covers Me (Beaming Books)
