CATCH YOU 'ROUND ALLIGATOR

“But if there’s a time that I’m not by your side,
And you’re frightened and scared, and you’re worried inside.
I’ll write you a note filled with words I hold true,
For surviving this world- a poem just for you.

CATCH YOU ‘ROUND ALLIGATOR is a heartwarming tale about love and loss. Through the book’s cyclic structure and illustrations, Alida beautifully relays the infinite yet fragile nature of life.

Since its debut, CATCH YOU ‘ROUND ALLIGATOR has resonated with people of all ages and genders, bringing comfort and healing to those who have lost loved ones. Here are just a couple of ways that it has been able to influence lives.

The picture book helped one reader grapple with not being at her father’s bedside when he passed, another to come to terms with the loss of a parent, and yet another to find peace with letting go of a mother who had recently died of cancer. One reader, distraught from the loss of a nephew, makes the decision to take a vast trip overseas; another, a devoted mother, is inspired to write down her memoir for future generations to read.

Timeless and enlightening, CATCH YOU ‘ROUND ALLIGATOR touches lives in many ways. How will it touch yours and your families?

The illustrations add to the depth of the writing..

“For a debut book, this author has excelled. The closeness described between Binh, the father, and Ly Ly, his daughter, is evident from birth. Anyone who is a parent will identify with the emotions, the feelings, the love between a father and daughter which is brilliantly conveyed. The illustrations add to the depth of the writing, and complement the writing very well. The book made me reflect on my own relationship with my children. Very nicely written.”
