Be Safe Little Boy: Words of Love for Moms (Hardcover)

by Karen Kingsbury (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
New heartwarming poem from best-selling author Karen Kingsbury about the importance of keeping your little boy close since they grow up so fast! Written specifically for a mother-son relationship.

From the Back Cover
The relationship I share with my sons—Tyler, Sean, Josh, EJ, and Austin—is a very special one. For every moment I spend cuddling with them and reading to them, playing with them and sharing closeness, I am always mindful of my calling to take a step back and let my little boys become young men. Boys are rough and tumble. They wrestle hard and play hard and often they are ready to suit up for a game or take the wheel of the car long before we’re ready to let them go. This thought played in my heart as I wrote Be Safe Little Boy. This emotional look at mothers and sons is my way of reminding myself, again, of my role in mothering my boys. Love them long and close, yes. Build bonds that will last forever, always. But be willing to take a step back, pray without ceasing, and let them grow up. I pray you find a closer walk in your own relationships as you read.

I cannot read this book without tearing up every time! It's a perfect gift for a new mom, an old mom and every mom in between! It reminds you how precious each moment is and how fast childhood goes. I love Karen Kingsbury's writing, and this sweet little book is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars precious gift, July 22, 2007

By	S. Dubon (knoxville, tn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A friend had given me this book with my first son. My husband and I were both brought to tears reading it. I truly reminds us each time we read it to treasure every moment with our son. What a precious gift life is. I buy one for each boy (or there is a daughter version) born to friends and family.

I recommend this wonderful read.
