Chatting Books Online Day 73. Today's recommended book is "Let Me Hold You Longer" by Karen Kingsbury. I only recently heard about this book when it started trending on social media fueled by a combination of graduations and the pandemic. So I ordered it. Of course because the world was ordering it it was temporarily on backorder. But then it arrived, and I read it, and I really like the premise. In the little forward at the beginning of the book the author explains that one day her smallest son ran and jumped in her arms and that got her wondering when was the last time her older son had been small enough to do that. As she says we all celebrate the firsts but never realize when the lasts are happening until they are gone. So she suggests in this book that we hold a little longer, hug a little stronger, etc because we never know when that last is and then before you know it they are all grown up rushing off to college and a life of their own. A sweet rhyming book.
This children's book is 7" x 8" and sells for $9.99 a copy.
