If I Could Keep You Little: A Baby Book About a Parent's Love (Gifts for Babies and Toddlers, Gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day)

Perfect gift for parents/new mamas. Truly captures the feeling of a little growing up.

I first got this book from a library and I just had to buy a copy for myself. I love how it goes through all the things we love about them when they are little. But then how we would miss so much if they never grow up. It’s a really cute book and it’s now one of my go to’s for baby shower gifts.

Such a cute book! Accurately represents the bittersweet feeling of having your babies grow up. I’ve definitely shed a few tears, reading it to my son haha!

This was the sweetest book, which made me and my daughter tear up. A great board book to read to your little ones at a variety of ages.

I’ve purchased it a few times. It’s a beautiful story that’s great for kids and very thought provoking for adults! I love it!

Sweet bedtime book. I’ve given it as gifts to my great grands and to friends.

A sweet picture book for littles. The rhyming is so-so and the rhythm is off a bit when you read it. Overall, a cute book.

“If I could keep you little, I’d kiss your cuts and scrapes… but then I’d miss you learning from your own mistakes. If I could keep you little, I’d tell you stories every night… but then I’d miss you reading the words you’ve learned by sight. If I could keep you little, I’d keep you close to me… but then I’d miss you growing into who you’re meant to be!” [excerpt] Currently hiding my tear stained cheeks behind the world’s sweetest children’s book ever … Mommas, if this is one you don’t yet own, you need it. Go buy it now. It’s the sweetest! You need this book. Oh, and while you’re adding it to your cart, go ahead and add a box of Kleenexes as well, because you’ll definitely need some of those too.

The content is okay.. but 2 pages stick together when I open the page the book is torn.. so upset with it..

Makes my heart ache every time we read it. Was a recommendation. Just love it. Not only fun for baby but also touches mamas heart.

I'm getting this to gift to someone I've read this book many times to my daughter over the years...its a beautiful heartwarming story that always leaves me crying joyfully.One of my favorites for sure

Livre très émouvant pour l'enfant et le parent qui explique que les enfants doivent grandir et que ce n'est que du bonheur 😊

This is a beautiful book! Nicely written and daughter loves it. She is 16month and I let her pick which story she wants at bed time. She clearly picks out a particular book each night and it is more often than not this one. I have not bored of it either, it is so true, if I could keep you little but then they would miss out on so much.
