Description

"In the blink of an eye, the whole year went by. The little boy grew up yet another size. Looking down on her son while beaming with pride, she thought of the future with tears in her eyes."

Children grow up so fast! And loved ones can't help but cling to the reminders of how small they used to be. While those little moments can move quickly, As You Grew, using precious illustrations, pauses throughout a child's first year to help you cherish your little one's growth and honor all the well-worn and well-loved items that come along on their journey.

Drawing from the experience of watching her son grow during those first precious months of life when the world seems to spin too fast, Dana Moneymaker began to weave together a beautiful narrative as she rocked her baby at naptime and at night. Part celebration, part mourning, As You Grew will resonate with parents as they read Dana's story of welcoming each new stage of babyhood while simultaneously waving goodbye to the last.

With a sweet, lilting rhyme scheme, Dana Moneymaker details the aging of her own little boy as he grows before her very eyes and the memory box of treasures she keeps for him. Including a First Words Image Library, this heartfelt story can be read alongside your growing child at bedtime, helping them take the next step in their seemingly fast-paced journey.

As You Grew takes treasured moments and stows them away for safekeeping, reminding you to appreciate every second and showing readers that as a child grows, so does our love for them.
