I always head for the book department of out local multi-purpose store. As a parent I always check out the children's section. I started reading this book and immediately started crying my eyes out in the middle of the aisle. I bought it immediately and when I got home, I held my sweet son in my arms and sobbed as I read it to him. He is now 3 years old and I have read the story many times and still get choked up when I do.This book will strike an emotion with EVERY parent. I plan to buy this book as a baby shower gift for everyone I know having a baby! I have also purchased the other "You Are" books, but this one is by far the best.
