I wish I could rate this higher but in reading it I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be for a daughter when the excerpts were more the ruminations of the the parents of daughters. Furthermore, I found some of the the quotes and writings a bit gloomy for my taste. It wasn’t horrible and did have some beautiful illustrations and sentimental, touching writings.

Mi madre me lo regaló y sin duda fue hermoso para mí.

Well, to start the way the quotes were expressed was far away what I expected from this. I never really liked the way of; pregnancy, childbirth and all. But in this one every thing that was dedicated to each of their daughters was something that I'll never feel. It was extraordinary, I never thought that it would make ME feel emotional. It was like I was experiencing childbirth and looking at a newborn baby in my arms. I was smiling like an idiot the whole time. The illustrations were heart touching. Loved the thought of Theodor reik. As well as Sidonie Goudeket's. And a little poem by Sally Emerson. This book made me feel all kinds of things.

My mother gave this to me on my 10th birthday. 20+ years later and it still makes me smile.

El año 2007 mi madre me lo regalo despues de salir de 8vo básico, en ese tiempo lo leí y hoy lo he vuelto a leer y me ha encantado, es hermoso, y un recuerdo que guardaré por siempre.
