Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" is turned into a tender audiobook on motherhood.

I have spent every day waiting for you.
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I’ll love you for a thousand more.

A child ventures out into the world, one bold step at a time, as her mother looks on, both of them brave in embracing change and steadfast in their ever-evolving love. In this ode from parent to child, Christina Perri's hit song "A Thousand Years" is turned into a tender reminder that a mother's love is forever.
Christina Perri is a multi-platinum singer-songwriter who earned critical acclaim and an increasingly fervent fan following since her 2011 debut, Lovestrong. She's released two lullaby albums and has more on the way.

Joy Hwang Ruiz enjoys capturing the magical and fleeting moments of parenthood as she tries to figure out what it's all about. Her illustrations celebrate love in families and embrace inclusivity. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Southern California.
