Karen Kingsbury has been a favorite author of mine for years. She has branched out into the gift book area with these latest releases of Forever My Little Girl: Loving Your Daughter for No and for Always and Forever My Little Boy just in time for Mother's Day and Father's Day. The sweet story begins with a daughter's birth and takes the little girl into her first steps, elementary years and into teen, first dance, first crush, first love, and ends as her parents are getting old. Scattered throughout each of life's phases are Bible verses and short little poems, reminders that no matter how grown up she will be, she will always be her parent's little girl, cherished, loved, and prayed for. Each section also contains a brief suggested prayer to pray for your daughter. Each phase of life is illustrated with watercolor illustrations, much like the one on the cover, by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff.
I can't decide who needs this book more--me, my mother, or my daughter. Whoever's hands it ends up in, I think it will be cherished. The nice hardback binding make it a book that will last through the years. I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
