I Will Hold You 'Til You Sleep This book that not only expresses a parent's love for their
child, but offers a hope for what that love will become. It begins with a
wish at bedtime, as parents hold their children tight and hope their love
will cradle them, safe and sound. It continues through the day their
children have grown up, proud and strong, and can pass that love on to
someone else. This is a book that goes beyond a parent's "I love you" to
the generous wish that our children will make the world a better place.
