Legendary performer Billy Joel's heartwarming lovesong from parent to child is now a book for families to treasure.

And still so many things I want to say.
With words as tender as a kiss on the cheek, Billy Joel reassures readers young and old that the love between a parent and child lasts forever, even if families are separated. Dreamy paintings of a father and daughter illustrate the profound ways that small moments -- like tucking a child into bed -- affirm parents' devotion to their children.
