There is a fine line between gentleness and sentimentalism which writers and teachers cross all too frequently, forgetting that the child is sensitive but not mawkish. Lujan and Sadat avoid rank paternalism by creating a work in which text and image fuse in harmonious communion, transforming this touching picture book into an exquisite song to the tenderness and simplicity of the love between mother and child.
