When you hold me
and sway like you do,
I know it was you
who hung the moon.
From infancy to childhood, through the teenage years and into adulthood, the love between a mother and child is a bond like no other. This heartwarming book of verse by bestselling author and poet Jessica Urlichs is a celebration of this inimitable bond, gorgeously illustrated by Sarah Reinhardt.
