This charming and heartfelt collection features four board books full of poetic text and beautiful illustrations, showcasing the gentle love between parents and their little ones.
Though were not together
were never truly apart,
because youre always on my mind
and youre always in my heart.
(In My Heart)
Four board books center around the tender yet strong love that a parent surrounds their child with as they take on the world. In the book In My Heart, when a mother leaves for work each day, she tells her child theyre always on her mind and in her heart. Home begins as a parents arms but follows a child wherever they go because home is where the heart is in You Are Home. From a captain of adventures to a quiet supporter, a mama can be many things in She Is Mama. Young girls can be anything they want to be in Let Her Be.
This lovely board book boxed set includes:
In My Heart
You Are Home
She Is Mama
Let Her Be
