BOARDBOOK--If I Could Keep You Little speaks straight to every parent's heart, exploring the powerful feeling of wanting your child to grow up while savoring every moment. A new favorite, this book showcases Marianne's ability to beautifully illustrate our complex emotions: 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!
