This sad book is about a mother who would sing to her
boy as he grew up. No matter how old he got, she would hold him in her arms and
would sing and rock him while he slept. When the mother got old, the son did the
same to his mother until she passed away. At the end of the book, it shows he
son holding his new daughter as she slept, singing her the same song.
I would recommend parents to read this book to their children but would not use it in my classroom because it is a sad book. The appropriate grade level for this book is Kindergarten so that students understand the feelings behind the story, but can be used for students younger. If I needed to use this book for a unit I would use it to show repetition.
