[.ca] Oh My Baby, Little One (ISBN 0152000410)

From Amazon.com:
It's always hard for Baby Bird and his mama to say good-bye on their way to school and work in the morning. But Mama finds a lilting, lyrical way of showing how her love is with her child all the time--and his love is with her, too. But even when I'm far away, this love I have will stay. and wrap itself around you every minute of the day. Warm, reassuring feelings emanate from this lovely picture book. Mama Bird tells her child how her love slips inside his lunch box, sits upon his shoulder when he sings a happy song, and snuggles on his pillow while he naps. Jane Dyer, illustrator of the bestselling Time for Bed, creates positively touchable watercolors of a pudgy-cheeked preschooler bird and his working mom. Hints of hearts nestle playfully on the pages: on the blackboard under the letter H, and sewn onto his pillowcase. Oh My Baby, Little One will resonate deeply for moms and kids alike, and may make daily separations just a little bit easier. So blow a kiss and wave good-bye-- my baby, don't you cry. This love is always with you, like the sun is with the sky. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

The best Parent book ever:
I just had to write a review on this book. I randomly selected this book because of the cover. The pictures are simply eye catching and this is one of the few books my toddler actually sits still for. I am just amazed at how the auther captures exactly what working parents feel when they drop their baby off to daycare. Seriously the first time I read this book I cried after the first two pages. Jane Dyer did an excellent job with the pictures. If you love this book you will love when Momma comes homes tonight. I would rate this book 10 stars!

Sweet and helpful book:
My daughter started pre-school at age two and this book was a wonderful way to address the issues of separation, love and the fact that I was always coming back to her. She loves to read the book and repeat "Oh my baby, little one" with me. As a mother who has to leave her little one to work part time, this loving book brings tears to my eyes. It really sums up the feelings for a Mother leaving her child in a very age appropriate way for small children. I love it.

One of the sweetest books I have read..:
I received this as a gift and cried my eyes out the first time I read it. I am a working mom who hates to say goodbye to my little one each morning. My son is a year old and will bring it to me to read to him. I still get teary eyed when I read it. I am going to buy one for all of my working-mom friends. Highly recommend this book.

One of the Best:
This book is so touching to both young and old. It gives comfort to little ones, and is a joy to read. The illustrations are precious. A great gift to a child going off to the first day of kindergarten, or when Mom starts a job.

Great book decribing traveling working parents to your kids:
My daughter loves this book and so do I. She is now two and has it memorized.
