If I Could Keep You Little... by: Marianne Richmond *Review and Giveaway*

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

    This book is so cute, and as a parent I can relate to the story!  I would love to keep Audrey, and hold, and play with her forever, but I would miss out on her growing up.  And being who she's meant to be!  Audrey loves this book, and it's definitely one of my favorites!

    If I could keep you little, I'd keep you close to me.  But then I'd miss you growing into who you're meant to be!  If I Could Keep You Little... speaks straight to the heart, exploring the powerful emotions that every parent has and illuminating the tender balance between letting your child grow up and savoring the beauty of right now.
    Overall we all love this book!  It definitely talks to your heart!  This would be a great holiday gift to any child.  I would recommend If I Could Keep You Little... by: Marianne Richmond to any parent with younger kids!  If I Could Keep You Little... by: Marianne Richmond retails for $15.99.  And now for the fun part, the giveaway details are below.  Good luck and have fun! :)
