I absolutely loved Forever. It was honestly probably one of the simplest, yet most beautiful books I’ve read all semester. This story is a book for young children Prek-K and is the perfect story for making the transition into going to school or away from home without a parent/guardian for the first time. My favorite part about it is the overall message. Essentially, the story’s meaning is that no matter where life takes you, a parent’s (or guardian/friend’s) love will always be with you wherever you go. It’s such a powerful message for young kids especially, but even as a college student away from my parents and getting ready for the ‘real world’ I was touched by it and really enjoyed it. I also loved that the author used polar bears to illustrate the story because it made the story unique and children love animals. Finally, I loved the illustrations. The illustrations were beautifully painted and made the story aesthetically pleasing, which just added to the overall quality of the message. Though it was simple and short, this was definitely by favorite story I’ve read because it has such a strong and powerful message that everyone can resonate with. ( )
