A mother’s hopes, gathered around the word “someday”

In *Someday*, a mother’s reflections on her child’s early years open onto hopes for the life ahead. Images of growing, discovering joy, and experiencing sorrow give the book a broad view of what a child might encounter over time. The relationship between parent and child anchors these thoughts, while the repeated idea of “someday” connects present moments with an imagined future. The book’s subject is both intimate and expansive: a mother’s love for one child, expressed through wishes for a life fully lived.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 4–8 and adults sharing a picture book with young children.
  • Families looking for a story about parental love and hopes for a child’s future.
  • Readers interested in picture books about growing up and emotions.

Book overview

Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds's #1 New York Times bestselling and beloved story of a mother's love and dreams for her child is now available in a beautiful keepsake edition.

One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one...
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too--
That someday you will dive into the cool clear water of a lake...
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair...
Someday...

A deceptively simple, powerful ode to the potential of love and the potential in life, Someday is the story of what every mother wishes for her child: a chance to live life at its fullest--to experience great joys, to stretch, to grow, to understand sorrow, to have a future...to have a someday. This shimmering, achingly beautiful, and poignant tale--created by two great talents--takes this idea and turns it into something that will touch every reader. Someday, now available in a gorgeous keepsake edition, is a story you'll want to share with a special someone today and every day.
