This is a amazing childrens picture book. Its a sweet sequel to her mama, how long will you love me ? this also feautures a young child named Sammy asking his mother to hold his hand as they imagine traveling together over different landscapes and through varies experiences. Something that made it feel special to me is the theme of love and security. It mainly centers on the childs desires for closeness and the parents comforitng response, and their emotional bonds. I feel like this can make kindergarteners feel very loved, and warm when they are feeling down, and missing their mama during school.

A cute little rhythmic, colorful book that kids will love! A reminder for every child that Mommy loves them, and that it's okay to hold her hand. You'll be surprised how far love can go!

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Jesus loves you!
For Jesus first loved me.... <3

I love the watercolor illustrations in this book. It’s a sweet book about a little bear and mama bear being together through all kinds of things. It may be a bit over young learner’s heads, especially with the sort of poetic run-on style of phrasing. The illustrations hint at a story but it’s somewhat out of order and the text doesn’t give enough clarity. However, the message is there.

This is a sweet tale about a mother's love for her child, reassuring him that she will always be by his side. I'm not sure if I am comforted or concerned by this thought, but I'm confident that children will enjoy reading this with a parent or caregiver.

Cute and sweet, but I didn't feel like it was as lyrical as other books about mothers being with their child forever.

[Leigh Ann]

A sweet story that teaches and reminds children that their mother will always be there for them through a variety of different circumstances.

Filled with literal lies

Cute illustrations though ❤️

Being nostalgic since my kids are teenagers now

Getting ready for Mother’s Day! I love reading with Mommy in the mornings 🥰

I bought Mama, Will You Hold My Hand? for my little two year old granddaughter who is at the “I DO IT BY MYSELF” stage. It's the perfect story to show her that holding Mommy’s hand is not just for safety purposes but it can also be tons of fun.

In this little book Mama and Sammy hold hands and share in many wonderful adventures together. They travel to the brightest star, on a rainbow’s tail and into their wildest dreams.

Mama, Will You Hold My Hand is beautifully illustrated and makes me feel all warm and cuddly while reading it. Anna Pignataro, I’m happy to give you five rainbows….whoops, I mean stars!!

This book reminds me of my mom and myself. It is a mom telling her child that she will be there through everything and will hold their hand. I know that my mom will always be there to hold my hand and I liked the pictures as well.

Cute story of comfort for a child who wants to be reminded that his mommy will always be there to hold his hand. I probably would not use this in a classroom but it would be a good book for a home library.

I love my child very, very much but I don't think I can be there for them forever! Well, I can, spiritually, but you know, I'm like Marlin, Nemo's dad. There will come a time where you have to learn to let go.

This is a sappy book about a mother and her child. I loved this book because I am a sappy mother and I cried. Anything that shows the bond between mother and child I am a sucker for because that is such an important thing in my life.

This book has some of the most beautiful and simple pencil and watercolor illustrations I've ever seen.

This was a great kids book it was very special to me because it reminds me of my relationship with my mom. I love her more than anything and I would go to the edge of the world and back with her.

I like the watercolor pictures and the easy fun sentences to read to small kids.

A sweet story about a mother and son, but there just wasn't enough text for us. I would have liked more, but the sentiment is still resonant.
