The book starts off with a young mom rocking her baby and singing a song to him as he falls asleep.įor the rest of his life, no matter his age, she always manages to find him in bed and-well–rock him to sleep. I’ll admit that I was only halfway paying attention when my daughter began reading Robert Munsch’s “Love You Forever.” It works every time.Ī few years ago he asked me to come sit in the rocking chair in his room as his mom read to him before prayers and sleep, and of course I obliged. So much so that if during the course of the day he commits a slight transgression the sure-fire way to get him back on track is to threaten to read him one less story later that night. My six-year-old grandson loves to read almost as much as he loves being read to. This ran a while back but it is so powerful I repost it every couple of years.
