Let Me Hold You Longer


With lighthearted illustrations and a sweet, reflective tone, best-selling author Karen Kingsbury encourages parents to savor not only their children's "firsts"—like first steps and first words—but the "lasts" as well. With the tenderness of a mother speaking directly to her child, Karen reminds us not to miss last days of kindergarten and last at bats in Little League amidst the whirlwind of life. Adapted from a poem in Rejoice, mothers and grandmothers everywhere will identify with the tenderhearted reflections in Let Me Hold You Longer. An ideal gift book for special occasions from baby showers to graduations.

Dear Karen...I can't begin to tell you what this book has meant to me. This is one of the most tender books I've ever read. I have bought this book for gifts. My neice has just gone thru a tough time with her teenager so I gave this to her....I also gave it to my nanny mom, as she recently moved back to Virginia after having the privledge of being their nanny for almost five yrs. I miss my guys but also know the move was in their best interest. Just finished reading "unlocked" as always you never disappoint me. Now I wait patiently for your next book to hit the shelves. Thank you Karen for the blessing in your novels. I for one appreciate you.
