What would a mother say to her son as he leaves his childhood behind? In this elegant book which was selected to win Awards from two international book competitions with thousands of entries, the author has captured those last minute words that are meant to last a lifetime. Uplifting and thought provoking notes are paired with heart stirring black and white photography inspiring one to: Believe in yourself and dream big dreams; live a happy and full life through being kind, generous, genuine, honest, passionate, optimistic, fair, aware, informed, participatory, productive, and creative; believe in the goodness of life, and ... reflect in yourself the best of humanity. This timeless message is both, personal – and universal.
