In this beautifully illustrated picture book, six different animal mothers reassure their little ones of the many ways they are loved.
Mama Bear loves the little bear “as the mountain loves you, sturdy and safe around you, giving you shelter from snow and rain.” Mama Owl loves her little one “as the oak tree loves you, tall and strong beside you, giving you the world to see all around.”
And deep in the woods in a log-built house, a little child hears the special way he—or she—is loved: “I love you as the stars love you, constant and bright above you, giving you joy and peace and wonder, forever and ever and always.”
Nancy Tafuri’s lyrical text is perfectly complemented by her intimate, endearing artwork, which captures all the tenderness of the love between a parent and child.
