Synopsis
A lyrical “love story” that goes beyond all borders.
To the Ends of the Earth is a journey of love
from the moment it comes into your
world, through the challenges it brings,
as you travel through wild storms, over steep mountains,
across mighty oceans, and through the deepest jungles,
ever pushing forward, fueled by love’s unlimited power.
Through our lives we all lose our smile once in a while.
We get bored, sick, upset, lost, or afraid.
When that happens, our burdens are greatly lightened,
by someone who will, literally,
go to the ends of the earth for us.
This is a story to share with the loved ones
who have gone to the ends of the earth for you,
the ones for which you will travel the distance,
and those of future generations
who continue the ever-spinning cycle of love.

Reviews
Between a mother and child there is a bond, that, nothing, nothing can break. A parent will do whatever it takes and wish for whatever it takes for their child to be the best, happiest person they can be. This book makes me want to go on an adventure with a mother and child and see where it takes them as they experience life together. Every mom, dad, and child should enjoy this book. Thank you Sharon Thayer for sharing this message with us.
This is probably the most encouraging book I've ever read to show a child how much they are loved.
