Product Description

As she eagerly awaited the birth of her first child, Mallika Chopra began to craft a unique gift that would express her profound loving commitment to the baby growing inside of her. 100 Promises to My Baby is that gift-one that reflects her deep awareness of the sacred responsibilities of parenthood. Here the author shares the vows she made to help her child-and all children-grow up feeling cherished and secure, look at the world with wonder and curiosity, and learn spiritual values that enrich life and contribute to making the world a better place. Accompanying the 100 promises are short essays, reflections, poems, and stories that have inspired the author throughout her life-and that will inspire readers to think about their own lives, values, and beliefs, and what they would like to pass on to their children.

Promises -- Promises!
I was skeptical about this book at first (it was a gift), but I found it to be a real treasure. I read it in shorts gulps at night after my now-7-month old drifted off to sleep. It's a beautiful and heartwarming--and very real--emotional tribute to motherhood. I just finished reading another heartwarming--but also very funny--love letter about parenting, "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler, which you might also enjoy

Perfect Book For Mothers And Mothers-To-Be
All moms should read this book. It is a special classic that will never go out of style. It's perfect for mothers-to-be in what they can look forward to as a mom. It's also perfect for women that are already mothers because it is a reminder of what a gift a child is to the entire world. There are so many lessons in this book, you can feel the love on each page. Buy this book for you and your child, you'll use it forever.

100 Promises to My Baby
Although I bought this book as a gift, I did glance through the various chapters to develop a feeling of the author's message.

I found the book beautifully written with a depth of feeling that could only come from the love of a mother for her child. There was a spiritual dimension moving through the pages of the book which enhanced the message and the feeling of closeness, yet the words were those of common sense and practical nature.

These thoughts, so well spoken by Mallika Chopra, are the thoughts that all mothers wish for their children. Mallika Chopra shows the talent and the gift of her father.
