As You Ever Will Be aims to help parents communicate foundational concepts such as awareness, compassion, and self-reflection. It attempts to put into words the spontaneous joy of watching human development unfold while emphasizing the immutable love that begins with birth. With lyrical style, As You Ever Will Be reads as an affirmation of self-worth to children and parents alike, based not on what they do but on who they are, who they have been, and who they always will be.
This 8x8 full color hardback was originally crafted as a gift for three children who were under the care of the author while she worked as their nanny for five years. The illustrations and words were inspired by their time together and the essence of what she hopes her presence brought to their lives. She hopes that the message in this book will resonate with anyone who has ever been a child.
