Synopsis

This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent’s love never lets go—based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller’s beloved lullaby “Hand to Hold.”

“May the living light inside you be the compass as you go /
May you always know you have my hand to hold.”

With an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child’s heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent’s presence and God’s blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.

Ah! I should have read this before reading first to my children. I was choked up and in tears at the beautiful description of a parent’s love for their child. I was crying, the kids were crying but we all adored this book. Family favorite for sure!......more

I like the song better than the book. The illustrations are fabulous, I just don't feel the words flow as well without the music. I think it would be fun to look through the pictures with your child while listening to the music.......more
