<someday > by Alison McGhee & Peter Reynolds. This is a quite warm picture book. When I first opened it, it maked me feel touching! I think it’s for adults, especially for parents. Before I read the book for my kids, I would love to take out our family photo album, and look through it with them. Here was the warm touching moment.
One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
They are my three wonderful angels. Chelsea was borned in 2005, Libby was born in 2009, Simon was born in 2014. They looked similar, right?
Chelsea is my first kid. I love her so much!
Daddy took the family to pick papayas. Little Libby put her thumb print on Daddy’s. She is always daddy’s sweetheart!
Naughty Simon was sitting in a rubbish bin happily. He drew Chelsea’s book with crayons. That drove her crazy! Then Chelsea told me that she wanted to throw him away. Poor Simon!
What a mess！Simon did it! At last, Libby helped clean it up.
Daddy is always too busy to spend time with the kids. One morning, he decided to take Simon to the kindergarten. Simon was so happy, holding daddy’s hand tight.
How quickly time flies! My little girl is a big girl now. Chelsea is even taller than me. But she was still a child to me.
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day we crossed the street, and you held my hand tight.
Then, you were my baby, and now you are my child. Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too...
That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood. someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine. Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like fire.
Someday you will hear something so sad that you will fold up with sorrow. Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes, love, you will remember me.
I know, they will be getting bigger and bigger, I will be getting older and older. I was there at your beginning. You will be there at my end.
