Remember the “I’ll Love You Forever” Book? The Real Meaning Will Rip Your Heart Out

Robert Munsch’s Love You Forever book was published once upon a 1986, but its legacy lives on even today.

As a kindergartner, I remember sitting cross-legged and staring doe-eyed at my teacher, Mrs. Duff, as she read that Love You Forever book to us over and over during story time. You’d think it would eventually get old, but our whole class sat in a circle just as mesmerized by the tale each time it was read as though it was the first time our ears heard those memorable words that made our eyes well up with tears. You’ve probably heard at least one of the love you forever book quotes, such as:

I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.

What’s the Love You Forever book basically about?

If you haven’t read the Love You Forever book, in summary, the story chronicles the life of a mother and son as the boy grows up. Through the sleepless nights as an infant to his ‘terrible two’s‘ and his pre-teen years where mom wanted to “sell him to the zoo,” she still loved him fearlessly and unconditionally, always ending the night with the same song as she rocked her boy to bed…

I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.

As the boy grows older and leaves home to start his own family, his mother occasionally sneaks into his bedroom to rock her grown man with her customary lullaby. (In hindsight, as an adult, that part sounds a tad creepier than it did when I was five, but the moral of the story is still undeniably sweet.)

Eventually in the love you forever book, his mom grows old and very sick and she calls her son over to sing the song to him, but she could only make it halfway through. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer, he began rocking her in his arms, singing the lullaby full of love that had carried him through his largely defiant life. Afterward, he went home saddened but found new hope in rocking his own baby girl to sleep with the same heartfelt words that would forever carry on his mother’s legacy.
