A young woman holds her newborn son and looks at him lovingly. Softly she sings to him: I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be. This is the story of how that little boy goes through the stages of childhood and becomes a man. It is also about the enduring nature of parents' love and how it crosses generations.

Reviews

An extraordinarily different story by Robert Munsch is a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for their child -- forever Sheila McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of the book -- one that will be read repeatedly for years

There's a reason why Love You Forever is still on the bestseller list 24 years after its release

An extraordinarily different story by Robert Munsch is a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for their child--forever Sheila McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of the book--one that will be read repeatedly for years

There are certain books about a parent's unconditional love for a child that are timeless--and this is one of them

One of my all-time favorites I cry every time I read it [The book] is a beautiful script about parenthood, a poignant parable about life and death, a testimony to when the roles of child and parent become blurry The story reminds you that no matter how grown up you are, you're always someone's child; that no matter how "adult" you are, you're never too old to be loved by your parents It makes me appreciate even more how my mother still calls me and my brother (despite us being 32- and 22-years-old, respectively) by our childhood nicknames, Pussycat and Tchotchke (Yiddish for "knickknack") Pigeonholing this as a children's book is like saying "Romeo & Juliet" is merely a cautionary tale about drug abuse I dare anyone to read this story and not shed at least one tear by the end It's even more poignant when you learn that Munsch wrote the book as a memorial to two still-born children he and his wife had in 1979 and 1980
