In My Life

This being an interpretation of a Beatles song, I had to read it...having reunited with a childhood friend recently, it's awesome...it's on my coffee table and brings back memories of so many things. Wonderful gift book.

Beautifully illustrated and one of my favorite Beatles songs.

I've sung In My Life to my 4 year old daughter nearly every night since she was born. She calls it "Places I remember" and when we hear it on the radio, she says "oh! that's MY song!"So imagine my joy to find a beautiful book that illustrates to her what the lyrics mean to me! Though I've traveled the world and loved many people, nothing and no one I've ever loved compares to her. I had to practice reading it a few times before reading it to her, as my voice broke! The illustrations depict a mother and her daughter, who grows into adulthood and has a daughter of her own that she brings back to visit her mother. I hope my daughter will love this book and song into her own motherhood, if she chooses to have kids. Maybe then she will truly understand how unique a mother's love is for her child.If this helps with a buying decision, the characters in the book appear to be a different race from our family (which is white) but that was an added bonus for us as we look to include books that are not only featuring people of color, but do so in a way that just puts them into nonspecific storylines (i.e. not limited to historical figures, holidays, foreign travel, etc.). A good library will have a little of both - celebrating historical figures that may not have been given their due until recently, but also just every day people who are there because they are a character, not because of their skin color or heritage. This book about a mama loving her daughter/granddaughter the way we do in our family, but happen to look different to us, sends a message to my daughter that might help her relate to others in the future. And for kids of color, it is important to see people who look like them reflected in their books.

If you’re a boomer you’ll 🥰 love it

Everything associated with ordering and delivery, and book itself, deserves highest rating.

This is one of my favorite songs and it's written as a sweet story of a child's adventure. The art work is so beautiful. My nephew is barely 2 years old and he is absolutely drawn to this book. Highly recommended it for any young child.

Ran across this book when looking for a gift for a Beatles fan. It’s beautifully illustrated for a beautiful song. Love it so much I have purchased all the different song books I could find by the Beatles. Definitely a collectible I will pass on to my grandchildren!

Love this and love the song. The illustrations are top notch. I won’t be reading this to my grandson. Tough to explain “Some are dead and some are living…” and “lovers and friends.”

I really love this book, it is the lyrics to in my life. The illustrations are pretty.

Nicely done book. No damage Well packaged very nice book and enjoyable story

We bought these for when the grandchildren ask to read a book

Beautiful book to sign as a guest book for retirement.

great book ..Beatles
