Synopsis

In this tender, lyrical picture book, a parent traces their child's journey from first steps to growing independence with love that never ends!

 

"It won't be long until you're one..." begins this heartwarming celebration of childhood's fleeting moments and milestones. Author Laura Hays Hoover provides gentle, rhythmic verse that counts from one to ten, allowing readers to follow a child's growth through taking their first steps, outdoor adventures, learning to swim, starting school, losing teeth, and developing unique talents and interests. The poetic structure creates a musical quality through thoughtful repetition and rhyme, building to the bittersweet final refrain: "It won't be long until you're grown."

 

Jieting Chen's expressive illustrations capture the joy, wonder, and bittersweetness of watching a child blossom into their own person right before a parent's eyes. Each page celebrates the small yet significant moments that shape childhood-from scribbling on walls to catching worms, from drawing first pictures to learning instruments-all witnessed through a parent's loving gaze.

 

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story time, or as a holiday gift for new parents, It Won't Be Long reminds us all to cherish the precious, fleeting moments of childhood that pass all too quickly, while celebrating the beautiful journey of growing up.

 

A touching reminder that though children grow fast, a parent's love remains constant-a treasure for both children and the adults who love them.
