“i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)“

This poem reminds us that love is always with us, no matter where we are. With gentle words and heartwarming feelings, this poem is a wonderful way to express love for family and friends.

This is a beautiful poem about love and connection. Cummings uses simple words and sweet images to show how love can be carried in our hearts wherever we go. The poem is full of warmth and tenderness, making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants to feel the magic of love.

This book is very touching and I personally enjoyed it. I worry that children who might not have great relationships with their parents might not connect to it so much but I could also see it having the opposite effect with some students. Overall I thought the theme of unconditional love was great and well written.

Beautiful story to read to children before bed to put them in a good mood before heading off to sleep

“I‘ll love you forever, I‘ll like you for always, as long as I‘m living my baby you‘ll be.”

This is a classic story about the love between mother and child. The mother sings the same song to her child every night before they go to sleep. In adulthood, the roles flip and the child becomes the parent and sings the song to the new child.

“The son grew old and grew old and grew old. And one day he called up his mother and said. 'Mom, you're getting older.“

This book can help me teach a lesson on life cycles and growth because the book portrays different stages of life, from childhood to old age. I could even do an activity with my students by having them create their own timeline and illustrate the different stages of their life.

This book was published in 1986 and is a heartwarming children‘s book that falls within the genre of picture books and family life stories. The story follows the evolving relationship between a mother and her son, with the mother repeatedly expressing her unconditional love as she cares for him through all stages of life.
