Uproar over beloved children's book 'Love You Forever': 'Off-putting rather than uplifting'
Briefly

I hate the book 'Love You Forever.' I too suffered a neonatal loss 34 years ago. I received this book as a gift when my second son was born and...I found it so sad.
The object of her ire, a 1986 children's tale by Robert Munsch, spotlights the codependent connection between a mother and son, who are eternally bonded by a cuddly cradle song.
In her tongue-in-cheek review of the cherished kiddie lit, Fischer gave her digital readers a snarky summary of the fictional mother and son's journey.
But when the storybook heroine continued the twee tradition into her tot's teenage years, it nearly drove the no-nonsense New Yorker nuts.
