McGraw's soft and colorful pastels perfectly complement the sentiment of the book-one that will be read repeatedly for years.
The thought experiment that the newly minted father will now force his way into his daughter’s room completes the discomfort that many readers experience.About the Book First published in 1986, this classic book by Munsch is a gentle affirmation of the love a parent feels for their his or her child-forever. Also troubling is the way she forces her way into his room when he is a teenager-and then when he is a grown man-since the implication seems to be that parental love is best when it entirely disrespects all acceptable boundaries.
Particularly troubling is the idea that the mother never expresses anything but annoyance and frustration with her son while he is awake, saving her affection for him only for times when he is completely asleep. Nevertheless, some readers express reservations about the way this allegory of love is presented.

Since publication, the book has grown in popularity and remains one of the best-selling children’s books to this day. The implication is that the cycle of love and nightly rocking will continue with this new generation. The next scene shows the man cradling his own newborn daughter as he sings his mother’s lullaby to her. I’ll like you for always, / As long as I’m living / my baby you’ll be.” But after the boy goes to bed, she crawls into his room, making sure he is really asleep, and then rocks him and sings him a little song:“I’ll love you forever. His mother responds by saying that he is driving her crazy and that maybe the best thing would be for her to put him in a zoo. When he is nine, he refuses to take a bath and accidentally curses in front of his scandalized grandma. When he is two, he flushes her watch down the toilet and makes a huge mess in the house. When the boy is young, he frequently exasperates and annoys his mother by getting into age-appropriate but less-than-ideal trouble. The book has had two illustrators, Anthony Lewis and Sheila McGraw. Love You Forever chronicles the life of a boy as he becomes a man, as well as the life of his loving mother as she ages and eventually dies. Overcome by this loss, Munsch wrote the book as an allegory of the unconditional and lifelong love that parents have for their children.
Children’s author Robert Munsch published the popular picture book Love You Forever in 1986 as a way of grieving his two stillborn children.
