Win a $20 Target Gift Card AND a Copy of I Promise: A Mother's Poem to Her Son

The Contest is Now Closed.

An Email Has Been Sent to the Winner. Thank you for all those who entered!

A mother and son share a special bond as active little boys love to write on walls, flush toys down the potty, and play video games. "I Promise" is a touching and funny poem from a mother to her son on how she will do her best (though she won't always be perfect!) in raising him through various stages in his life. Using mixed media to portray comical pictures, "I Promise" engages both chidren and adults. It makes a fabulous gift for mothers, sons of all ages, and has even been embraced by single mothers as the mother in the story does everything from playing football to managing finances while raising her son.

Now you can WIN a copy of Bridget Batson's popular book to share with your own child. Each person may enter three times.

1. REQUIRED - Watch the Video above and tell me your favorite picture from the book. Enter it in comment in the comments section below this. You do not need to be a follower of this blog - but I will need a way to contact you if you win. If you choose not to follow, please let me know your email address.

2. OPTIONAL ENTRY- Tweet this contest using the icon for "Share on Twitter" and leave a separate comment with your twitter ID and letting me know that you shared on twitter.

3. OPTIONAL Entry - Share on Facebook using the icon to share on facebook and leave a separate comment letting me know that it was shared on facebook.

Good Luck!!!! Contest Ends May 6. Winner will be chosen using a random number generator. Winner will have 48 hours to respond before an alternate winner is chosen.
