What's the Story?
Each page provides an instance where someone might need support. Every few pages, the book reiterates that the reader will "always have me."
Is It Any Good?
This is one of those special books that would be just as at home on a 3-year-old's bedtime bookshelf as it would be in a college freshman's suitcase. It's a reminder that not only are we all in need of care and support, but we're all deserving of it, too—on our good days and bad days. A perfect bedtime book or gift for life celebrations like birthdays and graduations or just because, this book can be a beautiful reminder that the reader is loved.
