Any parent who has raised a child remembers the moment filled with emotion and gratitude when they first held their newborn baby in their arms.
The pure, loving heart that holds the world's most precious and wonderful gift in its arms and pledges to raise it well is the heart of every parent.
This book beautifully captures the heart of such parents, and contains stories that parents want to tell their children as they raise them.
Sometimes I'm embarrassed, sometimes I can't find the right words to tell you these stories.
These are the stories that children really want to hear and should grow up listening to.

People often forget the feelings they had at first in their busy lives.
Parents may neglect their children due to their daily lives, or they may be too demanding on their children due to their desire to raise them well.
Children also have times when they struggle and feel lonely.
Some children deliberately cause trouble because they want to be sure that their parents love them and care about them.
This book conveys parental love to children, and also allows parents to recall the first feelings they had as parents when their children were first born.
