Summary: This book is about a little boy who goes starts out as a baby and goes through all the stages of life and eventually becomes a man. Every night the mom holds him in her arms and sings him a song: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.” In the end of the book when the mother is very old in sick the son takes her in his arms and rocks her while he sings the song to her.
