Love You Forever is a touching picture book by Robert N.

Each visit to the bedroom is marked by a simple lullaby that the mother sings to comfort her child. As the son becomes an adult, he too sings the lullaby back to his frail, elderly mother, and when she passes, he carries the song into his own family, cradling his newborn daughter and promising to love her forever. The book celebrates the continuity of unconditional love across generations.
