This book is as sweet as I remember it! I can’t remember the last time I read (or was read) this book, but I think it must have been when my youngest sister was 5 or younger. Soooo several decades! The illustrations alternate between black and white line drawings and full color spreads. The message is that your parent will always be there for you, no matter how far you go or what you become. This isn’t always the case in real life, but it is a comforting dream. Lots of nostalgia for this book!
