| Of the thousands of moving prayers and essays Marjorie Holmes has written, nonehas ever evoked more response from her readers than "How Tall Am I, Mother?"The answer, AS TALL AS MY HEART,became the title of this book not only be-cause of the popularity of the piece but be-cause it sets the theme for all of these selec-tions. Like songs of joy, they give voice tothe depth and breadth and ever-presence ofa mother s love. Whether Marjorie Holmeswrites of the loss of a first tooth, the litany ofa homework drill, a visit to a zoo or trainstation, the shared, quiet joy of a nightunder the stars, or a child s spontaneousprayer of thankfulness, she affirms what allmothers know: "No matter how tall andstrong he may become, or what heights hemay attain--no child ever grows beyond thereach of his mother s heart." |
