# Hand to Hold - Hardcover

by **Jj Heller** (Author), **Alyssa Petersen** (Illustrator)

**This heartwarming picture book reassures children that a parent's love never lets go--based on the poignant lyrics of JJ Heller's beloved lullaby "Hand to Hold."**

_"May the living light inside you be the compass as you go /_  
_May you always know you have my hand to hold."_

With delightful illustrations and an engaging rhyme scheme, this book offers the promise of security and love every child's heart longs to know. From skipping stones and counting stars to climbing trees and telling stories, every moment is wrapped snugly in the certain warmth of a parent's presence and God's blessing. With poignancy and joy, this bedtime read captures the unconditional love parents want their children to know but so often fail to express amid the chaos of daily life.
