ABOUT THE BOOK:
Kathie Lee and Cody describe their adventures in parenting through conversations they have together. Along the way they discuss matters of great importance - such as honesty, safety, and siblings - but with their own brand of humor and personal insight. They discuss what is important in life; what heaven is; why good manners are necessary; why Cody has to be gentle with his little sister. Kathie Lee relates concerns that will go to the hearts of all parents - worries about letting children free to learn about their world, but also wanting to shelter and protect them from harm: "You want to let them grow and run and experience the grass under their toes, but at the same time, you're wondering if there's a snake in the grass, or a sharp object or a stone." She discusses teaching her children values, and how, when they are adults, she hopes they will remember the values she has instilled: "I have a promise I can count on, and hold on to, and that is that when Cody's older and when Cassidy's older, they will return to what is right because they were taught what was right when they were little." LISTEN TO MY HEART gets to the core of what it means to be a mother, by examining what is said between a mother and her son.
