Along Came You Book Review and Giveaway
*CONTEST ENDED. WINNER ANNOUNCED.*
Along Came You by Karona Drummond is sure to be a book that is given to expectant mothers at baby showers every where. I was deeply touched by this book and my “baby” is 10 years old. I had to share this with her. She sat quietly reading next to me, then asked me to read it with her.
We haven’t read a book together in ages, but this book has a way of bringing Moms and children together no matter the age. Along Came You is actually for children aged 4 – 7, but I believe because of it’s beautiful illustrations even younger children will enjoy having this read to them.
Along Came You is about life for a mother before and after she has had her daughter. The message is that life was good and comfortable before but so much more precious after. The illustrations are colorful, bright and just darling. The illustrator, Estelle Corke captures the close relationship of mother and daughter.
Published by Zonderkidz, hardcover with 32 pages, the purchase price on Amazon.com is $10.87, in book stores the average cost is $15.99.

Amazon’s Product Description of this book reads: A delightful book for kids and parents to read together that will paint a picture for children about how life changes when they are born, and gently reminds parents about how the loving sacrifices they sow for their kids only cause them to reap more joy.
I would love to read this with my daughters! Thanks!
I love that this book has 5 stars in customer review ratings! I have a 9 month old daughter, and my mom passed away 6 years ago when I was 22. Mother/daughter closeness is now closer to me than ever before.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
