I hope to one-day read this book to my future children. Let them know how much i love them. My teacher read this book to us she was dying of cancer and she cried because she just had a baby and knew she would not be there for him. But she did read this to him every night. He was 3 when she died i wonder if he remembers his mom. But i remember my teacher and how she introduced me to this book. And i had my mom read it to me when she was not busy working. Now i am crying remembering my childhood 😢😢 have a good day everyone who reads this. Hope something good happens to you
i remember when i was a kid my mom would read this to me every night and when she finished she held me in her arms and sang that lullaby to me. R.I.P Mom ill alwayss love you
my grammie passed away from breast cancer two years ago. this book was helping me heal. i miss her so much. grammie, i'll love you forever, i'll like you for always, as long as i'm living...my grammie you'll be.
He is so good reciting it. Kids must’ve loved listening to him, it’s very interactive and fun and silly. Oh don’t mind me, we the adults are here crying my eyes out.
My mother used to read me this book every single night. From newborn to just a few weeks ago. Each and every single night she wouldn’t hesitate to tell me how much I meant to her. “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be…” a few days ago she took her final breaths. Just moments before her passing, I read through the book. A single tear fell down her cheek. She looked at me, and that was it. I miss her so much. Mom, I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living…my mother you’ll be.
I think what really brings people to tears is the ending, revealing he wasn't always asleep when she rocked him and remembered the song by heart. Only to go back home to his own kids room and sing the same song to his kid, never wanting to break the cycle of unconditional love his mom gave him to carry on her memory (she most likely died that night or in his arms)
This has always been my favorite Robert Munsch book. I would read it to my son and he loved it as well. He passed at 31 and always told me he would look after me when I was old. He may not be here anymore but as long as I livr he'll always be my baby close in my heart. Thank you Robert for your amazing kids stories. So meaningful and lovely to read. 🎉
Robert Munsch wrote this after his wife gave birth to two stillborn babies. It was his way of healing. For those telling him off for the way he recites it....GO AWAY.
I have SO MANY fond memories of reading this as bedtime fare for all my kids, but, especially, the youngest, my darling twins… this single post has inspired me to set up a shared folder with them to share similar childhood memories as they approach their thirties and THEIR first children. Thanks so very much for sharing…
He and his wife lost 2 babies and this story was in his heart and finally wrote it. It’s been a blessing to so many. Only God can bring good from tragedy. I read the book to my youngest child and now he’s 39 and I still send him the UA-cam version on his birthday every year. ❤️
People bring good from tragedy. If you want to say that god brings the good after the tragedy then you must also accept that god forced the tragedy on the victim in the first place. So, did the god inflict the tragedy just so it could be andavioir after? That's a psychopath. Or did the tragedy not come from the god? Then it's impotent.

We live in a fallen world. There will always be sin sickness and suffering. I’m just happy I have God to help me.
My mom used to read this to me for years, every time I got sick or felt sad she was right there with this book. Up until I didn’t care anymore, and I moved on to teenage things. Well, my mom died in 2021 at the age of 56 and I read this book to her while she was dead. I’ll love you forever I’ll like you for always As long as I’m living My mommy you’ll be
When I was 19 I went to a classmates funeral. When the mother gave her speech at the church. She began to read this book to us because she would read it to him as a baby. But stopped at the part where the son moved out of the house because she said this is as far as her and her son got. Up to that point I forgot my mother read that same book to me as a kid. I cried when the mother started reading it to us. Especially at every stage the mother and son went through.
Every time I read this or even hear it, it brings tears to my eyes. i've enjoyed it with my oldest boy who's now a grown man with a son of his own. Now I read it to my 8 and 6 yr old children. its one of the best bedtime stories a parent (or loved one) can share with a child. I plan to send the book to my oldest boy so he can hold his baby and rock back and forth back and forth and sing to his baby "I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always..."
i have the fondest memories of my mom reading this to me and singing the song. i dont think ill ever forget how safe i felt in her arms each night. this and the very hungry caterpillar 😭❤️ now im older than she was when she read books to me
I was reading this to my husband in Chapters the other day cause he hasn’t heard of it before. I’m into my second trimester with our first baby and suddenly I started crying, I couldn’t even finish reading lol he had to read the rest!! I want to buy it for my baby cause I grew up on it but I also want to make sure I can finish reading it aloud without crying.
We read this book to our girls all the time. It brings tears to my eyes every time! It means even more to me since my mother-in-law passed away. My husband was her caregiver at the end of her life before and even after she moved into assisted living. When she still lived at home, he would help her get ready for bed every night and pray over her just like he prayed over our daughters. It was a bittersweet time that I would not give up for any reason.
My number one goal in life is to be a good father. Hearing him read this knowing the backstory honestly made me cry happy tears and gave me more motivation to keep on keeping on.
When I was a teacher, I would often read this book to my students before Mother's Day. There would be times, especially after my mothers death, that I couldn't go on. On one occasion one of my third grade students came up and finished the book. I feel sorry for the people that had negative, rude, and crude comments. One day this may haunt them. I think your writing, story telling, and lyric singing is perfect for the attended audience. 16 of my 28 years of teaching were in 1-3rd grade. I love kids and I'm not a Perv.
y'know... you didn't have to specify you aren't a pedophile if you're a teacher you should love your students? and see a future in them? I'm confused as to the end of this post and I know it's not a big deal but since it was written five years ago I was wondering if you'd phrase it the same today i guess?
@@evan10307 I think she may have been referring to people who don’t think teachers should read a book like this to kids who aren’t their own. Some people don’t think teachers should say the phrase “I love you” to students because it is inappropriate. I’m with him though. Children are with their teachers many hours a week. Children need to feel securely cared for by them as well as their parents
This has been my favorite book since the 1st grade. I used to check it out so much from the library that the librarian had come to expect me to check it out. It was awesome to hear him do it.
Thank you Mr. Munsch. Like many others, I would read your books to my 3 kid's now in their teens. This one in particular hits me the hardest. A true Canadian icon...
Bawling my eyes out. My parent is schizophrenic so it is common to hear screaming or curses in the house. I always wonder what feels like to have a parent who is always reassuring.
My mom read this to my brother and I in the exact same cadence as Munsch reads it. We had a cassette tape with a bunch of his stories that we'd listen to on road trips and a ton of books as well when I was young. My mom passed it on to charity but really regretted it when her sister's son had his first kid and she couldn't seem to get a good copy of any of the books to gift them.
My mom is really sick and she used to sing read this to me every night. Now I'm the one taking care of her. She can't breathe without her oxygen. She won't eat. She only sleeps. I wish I cherished her reading to me when she still could...
I have loved this book ever since my children were babies. They are all grown up now, and I buy this book for friends and family that have just had a new baby. I cry every time. Thank you Robert. My oldest son is named Robert. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I genuinely started tearing up. I don't think I can finish this video knowing that he made this after two miscarriages and being medically told that he'll never have a baby. The way he reads it is like someone who's lived this life with their kids already, but I interpret as him wishing this was the life he could have given his kid.
I was able to give this book to my Grandmother while she was lying in the hospital. She loved this book and to read it while she was like his mother at the end makes me cry. I am thankful for her love and kindness.
I first learned of this book when my 44 year old son was in first grade. It made me cry! Another of my sons had a son a year ago and gifted his wife with this book. What a beautiful story...With 3 sons it tugs at my heart..
i used to read this when i was little and it always made me sad to see how much life changes when you grow but i was always happy that they kept their tradition going, especially the last two pages. even now, i still cry to this book, and just like always, i think of my momma and how she still rocks me back and forth and sings to me, not this song but many others, and i also memorized them from it. i'm currently in my teenager part of life but she's definitely shown me the kind of mom i'd want to be.
i was driving the 1st time i heard it. was playing on spotify for my little girl while we were on a road trip. i went from what the hell is this, to fighting back tears so i could drive
This book was released the year my older brother was born and after that became a tradition my mother made to always read this book to us and give it as a gift to any family or friends who were having/just had children. About 2 months ago my mother and I got the main part tattooed on us, watching this video bringing out some tears since I just moved away from her.
My father (I have two gay dads) would always read me this book. One of them is currently dying of cancer. And I'm gonna fly out and sing this song to him.
I was in my late teens when I read this and I have to admit I found it a bit creepy but then I realized it was a perfect metaphor for a parents expression of their love and commitment to their children and I find I am bawling my eyes out if I even think about it... 😢😭
I always loved the way he read his books. I also love how rhythmic this book is, it’s like it’s all a song. My mother would recite it to me exactly like this, I had a feeling she listened to this recording a lot so she could read it to me. It was her favourite to read to me. I should give my copy to her soon. I’m sure she’ll like it with all of my childhood keepsakes I have in my room when for when I move out.
One of my very favorite children's books - and hearing Robert Munsch read it is magical. I cry every time I read the book ( smile and laugh a bit too) - it is beautifully touching and a testament to love. Thank you Mr. Munsch!!!
I LOVE HIS EXPRESSIVE READING!!!!!!!!! I put this book in an Operation Christmas Child shoebox I packed with the theme, "You Are Loved" and I wanted to hear the story again.
Unlocked core memory! I remember this in sparse blips of memories, strongly the corny song. It had been bothering me recently for awhile and tried looking for it. Thanks to UA-camr Peet, he unlocked it for me and I got to know what it was about.
Was just layin my 3year old down she laughed at how crazy he was being and then when she got old she grabbed my arm🥺❤️ the little baby in my profile pic is grown so much she cares and I love her so much it’s a unbreakable bond we have
I bought this and another book for my ex's son, so my gf at the time could read it to him. I didn't know what it was I just found the cover sweet, so I read it myself later that day and it WRECKED me. I want my own kids and it wasn't serious enough with my gf yet to be a step mum. So it was an emotional read
He read it the way he did because the book was intended for young children (k-3). How else are you going to keep an audience that age entertained? By being theatrical!
people gotta understand hes probably directing this towards young children as to make it as silly as possible although i do agree nobody reads it better then mama :)
I distinctly remember throughout my life I literally never said “I hate you” “I wish you were never my parent” or “you don’t love me” I definitely said some offensive things to my parents in arguments and things, but even when they made me angry I knew they still loved me and more just saw it as them not understanding how I felt or making a mistake. You can’t hate the people who spent decades supporting you
You know he made up the poem after his wife had two stillbirths? So sad :( He said on the website it is meant to be read in anyway, he just does it that way.
I hope to one-day read this book to my future children. Let them know how much i love them. My teacher read this book to us she was dying of cancer and she cried because she just had a baby and knew she would not be there for him. But she did read this to him every night.

The sweetest part is that the son remembered the song even though he was seemingly fast asleep whenever his mom would sing it to him :,)
He is so good reciting it. Kids must’ve loved listening to him, it’s very interactive and fun and silly. Oh don’t mind me, we the adults are here crying my eyes out.

There is not one time I hear this amazing story and not tear up or out right cry my lord this book is a heart string for me

I definitely said some offensive things to my parents in arguments and things, but even when they made me angry I knew they still loved me and more just saw it as them not understanding how I felt or making a mistake. You can’t hate the people who spent decades supporting you
I remember when my mom and dad used to read this to me
I love listening to Robert read the book
Listening to this with my baby 😍
i’m balling my eyes out
This is the exact audio my teacher played when I was younger I know this book verbatim and cry every time I hear this
I hope if I ever do have a kid I hope I can actually read them this book.

Robert Munsch’s voice amuses me, especially when he says the predicate of his sentences.
