A mother’s love is endless, ongoing, and endemic. She is the hearth at home that keeps the blaze aglow. She’s the weaver of dreams and unwavering devotion. There’s no place safer than her arms, no song more comforting than her tune, and no scent more familiar than the essence of a mother. Mommy, the Dreamweaver is intended to alleviate separation anxiety and the guilt experienced when leaving a child at home in order to earn a living, a phenomenon faced by many parents.
A father’s role in the upbringing of a child is a crucial one. Fathers can be as loving, nurturing, and devotional as mothers are. The values and principles acquired through certain life experiences become critical lessons they transfer to their offspring, enriching a child’s worldview. This book is a tribute to all dads, including my own, but it’s especially dedicated to the father of my children whose unconditional love, sacrificial spirit, and boundless energy for them has not only evoked love in our children but it has also inspired this book. Daddy’s Waltz is my title for a song he made up to help our sleep-fighting babies fall asleep.
