Love it or hate it, it’s a book that most of us either grew up with or read to our children.īut do you know the heartbreaking and beautiful true story behind the book? To my mind, it is the climax of the story that makes the readers cry a bit.Most of us have read the iconic children’s book “ Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. When he comes back his own home, he sings the same song to his newborn daughter.

What can make the mother happier? Maybe, it is the next gesture of the son.

When the main character of the story, the son, comes to his mother and sees that his mother is sick and cannot continue singing the song, he supports her and finishes the song. Children have nothing to do but observe how their parents grow older and cannot spend all the time together. She got older and older and older.” (Love You Forever) It is a simple truth that parents cannot be young all the time. He grew and he grew and he grew… Well, that mother, she got older. The author chooses an interesting way to present the events in the story. Even if children can make their parents going crazy, parents will understand everything and provide with the necessary support any time. Children are certainly the greatest blessing any parent can ever get. However, to my mind, only parents can understand the real meaning of the words in this story. The illustrations created by Sheila McGraw make this story understandable for children. The language, structure, and style of this book are not too complicated. It was the beginning of Love You Forever: “I’ll love you forever/ I’ll like you for always/ As long as I’m living/ My baby you’ll be. But one day, Munsch decided to create a kind of story around this song. Each time he start singing, he could not but cry.ĭuring a certain period of time, this song was just a song of a grievous father. Robert created a wonderful song for his dead children, and could not sing it for them. It was a real tragedy as for Munsch as well as for his wife. In 19, the author had two stillborn babies. The creation of this story touches many readers. It is his time to sing this simple but unbelievably pleasant song to his mother. Now, his mother is sick and cannot sing for him. The child grows day by day, and the mother is not tired to remind how much she loves him. It is classis and kind story about a mother and her child. In general, everybody would like to buy this book for children, and children want to buy Love You Forever for everybody.

I love you robert munsch
