Always with You, Always with Me

An instant New York Times bestseller!
 
A loving ode to modern motherhood by Kelly Rowland and Jessica McKay.

Grammy Award–winning artist Kelly Rowland and educator Jessica McKay have crafted a lyrical celebration of working moms everywhere and a soothing story for their children. As a mother gets ready to go to work, first she works on building the world for her child. Because it can sometimes be hard to be separated during the day, Mom collects some simple words that she and her child can repeat whenever they are missing each other or feeling overwhelmed:
 
Always with you,
always with me,
mommy and child,
together we'll be.
 
For any child who needs a little reassurance or just to share a sweet gesture of affection, Always with You, Always with Me is a loving tribute to families that honors the work a mother does both inside and outside of the home.

Editorial Reviews

"This tender story, narrated in the voice of a mother addressing her child, pulls at the heartstrings. This book will resonate with any mom who knows the heartache of having to say goodbye to their child or who has faced the teary-eyed frustration of a youngster experiencing separation anxiety. Young readers, on the other hand, will find solace in the reassuring narrative." –Kirkus Reviews

"A heartwarming read-aloud from mother to child." –School Library Journal

Awesome illustrations, great story for little girls who need to see more age appropriate stories with illustrations of children who look like them.
To show my grand daughter that I would always be in her life.

I have always been a huge fan of Kelly Rowland. My daughters love her as well so I had to buy this book for them, Oh and my son who was also all ears as I read to my small girls. it's a lovely story for working mother's and children who are in school who consistently remind one another that no matter the time away they are always with one another.
Beautiful book that working mom's, inside and out of the home, can relate to. Wonderful gift for any baby shower, and even fitting for those older girls as we nurture their ability to strive for their dreams while beng the mother's of the future.

So many great things about ALWAYS WITH YOU, ALWAYS WITH ME. Authors Kelly Rowland and Jessica McKay shows the reality of what happens when parents have to let their children out into the world and make a living---but it also reminds young people that they are loved. I love how it shows how the mother and the father do their part to make a life for their children, and how the children and parents can send a piece of themselves into the world with them. Little tokens of appreciation remind all involved that they are being thought of and remembered, and more importantly they are loved.
