Always Carry Me with You
Always Carry Me with You | Hervé Éparvier
1 post | 1 read
In this sweet love letter a father tells his daughter he wishes he were a humble pebble. Then she could carry him in her pocket, reminding her for always how much he loves her. "A stone can be beautiful." "A stone can live forever." "A stone can be used to skim over water, leaving round ripples on the surface." "A stone can come from your backyard, or from as far as outer space!" "A stone can be BIG like a mountain, or small like a pebble." Through his imagination, he shows her the beauty and magic to be found in such a seemingly ordinary, humble object. But above all, he tells her he dreams of being a little stone pebble - all smooth, and round, and soft, sitting snugly at the bottom of her pocket. A little pebble she can holdso tightly in her hand, to keep her company, to give her comfort, to make her feel brave and safe. A little pebble she can always carry with her - like a lucky charm, and a symbol of his love, which will always be with her. This book is a perfect parent-child read, a winning Father's Day gift, and a soothing tale for children and families navigating big feelings and events in their children's lives, such as starting school, building confidence and working through separation anxiety.

4 â­This book starts out as a little odd. It starts with a person wishing they were a stone. And most of the page is telling you about stones big and small, and what can and can‘t be done with them. Then it morphs into a story about belonging. How sometimes a stone can be so small that it can be held in a hand. That the act of holding the stone could make you feel or remember the person who gave it to you. So very touching book and very well done.

LibrarianRyan A moment about the art. This art seems fresh and new, at the same time it has a retro 70s mod feeling. The art is the best thing about this book. The story is fantastic but it‘s the art that makes it memorable. I want to see more of this art style. I want to hang these pictures on my wall. I want to give this book to others. 2w
