Critical Reviews

"All children deserve a lifetime of loving, empowering assurances from their parents. There are, of course, love, concern, and nurturing of body and mind, but also vows to teach their children moral principles; to impart a sense of belonging in the world; to devote time and attention; to impose limits; to offer guidance, choices, and help; to show acceptance; and many other life-altering, -affirming, and -strengthening gifts children need from parents so they will grow into happy, productive adults. One of the most generous, loving promises of all is truth--that the children have "infinite worth, / built-in and boundless" and that life isn't always "easy or perfect or fair"--but when their offspring feel down, the parents promise to listen...[I Promise You] is sweet and comforting. " -- Kirkus Reviews
