You’ll always be my baby.

Tender, touching, and incredibly sweet, this book is my go-to baby gift. 

The book opens with a little bunny running home to his mama, who eagerly waits from their warren.

"I see you. I miss you.
I hug you. I kiss you."

These perfect compact phrases will tug at your heart all throughout the book, conveying the deep yearning we have for our children when they aren't at our side, and the overwhelming love that engulfs us when we are together. 

I love that this book captures so many of the essential points of connection that make parenthood special: that deep sense of knowing your child, almost better than you know yourself; the thread that connects you to your little ones so you carry them with you even when they're away; knowing when it's safe to let go and let them experience a taste of the independence they're yearning for.

"I hear you. I let you.
I know you. I get you."

Who knew there were so many three-word sentences to add depth to that most common one that we tell our children every day? "I love you."
