Editorial Reviews

Review

'Carole, thank you for the gentle intelligence of Dear Little One, a hymn to life and love and God.' ---Gerald Levin, Time Warner CEO Emeritus

'Timeless... Dear Little One conveys all the stuff that needs to be said. Hallundbaek's writing has the quality of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift From The Sea.' ---Carol Howe, Courier-Gazette

'With four grandchildren, it is important for us to see through the cacophony and hubbub to the mystery and awe in these little lives. Carole, thank you for helping us do that through your book. Dear Little One made me feel like spring.' ---Fred Osborn III, Chair Emeritus, Episcopal Church Foundation

From the Author

I wrote this book during my kids' nap times when they were small! It gently encompasses the important things we would like our children to know throughout their life, things we hope to tell them, but rarely have the opportunity or the time in our busy lives. It gives me great comfort to know that they will hear Mom's thoughts and feel Mom's comfort, even after I am gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful book I've ever read, July 7, 2005

Masterful. Quite possibly the most beautiful book I've ever read, for and about human beings on this earth. The reflections, observations and guiding hopes in Dear Little One will accompany my kids now, and throughout their adult lives. I can't think of another book that does that. This book is unique. And poignant. And ultimately the kindest gift.

I was deeply moved by DEAR LITTLE ONE and bought several more copies for couples I know who just had a baby or are having one soon. This is a perfect gift book, but more than that, because the reflections will last a lifetime. Nice black and white photography, too.
