PreS-Gr 1–A poignant story of how far a parent will go to show unconditional love. Each page captures beautifully a set of parents and their child enjoying various forms of bonding. Whether the mother is holding her child to her breast or a father and daughter splash on the beach, readers glimpse the imaginings of the parents as the children grow independent and overcome obstacles. The text and art show the aspirations of the parents for their children, to “meet you in your dreams” until “it’s time to fly.”
VERDICT A great love letter to children from the parents’ perspective, and wonderful for school and library collections.
