That's Me Loving You, (Hardcover)

I hesitate to use the words “Instant Classic” — but not when a children's book is as wonderful as this! Nowadays, it seems like our children (and grandchildren) are away from us more and more often. The demands of work, and distance we all seem to have to move away to find work, can make it more and more difficult to reassure our kids and grandkids that we always love them. Especially when you're young, it can be hard to feel confident and capable when an uncaring-world threatens, all around. This simple book turns that quandary on its head, offering a lovely rhyming poem which tells our kids that whatever they see around them can remind them of our on-going love for them (the wind is like our kisses, the waves are like us waving to them, and so on). The wonderfully sweet illustrations, rooted in a retro illustrative style, warmly convey the meaning of the words, that neither distance, nor all that's going on around us, will weaken our love for them. Such a wonderful — and needed — book!
