Synopsis

Every adult who loves a child knows how deep and rich that love can be. Little ones are lovable on the outside, with their tiny ears, eyes, and toes. And they're lovable for who they are on the inside, as they sing, play, and shout. Robin Cruise and Caldecott Honor winner Margaret Chodos-Irvine portray a diverse trio of parents and children in this lyrical celebration of a love that makes each child feel like the one and only.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A warm celebration of parental love. The sparse, rhyming text is evocative and affirming, and appropriate for toddlers or even babies: "I love/your knees,/your toes,/your feet./I love your skin—/so soft,/so sweet." Pairings of moms, dads, and children of various ethnic groups are depicted. . .  Only You will make calming bedtime reading, and the words may end up memorized and recited aloud to soothe a cranky child. A stellar effort.  -- School Library Journal There's no shortage of lyrical books that recount the way parents feel about their children. This one has the advantage of illustrations by Chodos-Irvine. In simple, rhyming text, the narrator (in some pictures, a mom; in others, a dad) notes everything lovable about the child: a nose, a kiss, a small hand to hold. Like the narrator, the focus of this adoration also changes. The illustrations occasionally show a boy of color, sometimes a brown-haired girl. Once again, Chodos-Irvine uses various printmaking techniques to add visual interest to the oversize pages, and her shapes are large, simple, and effective. At times, the pictures are rendered in pure, saturated colors; at other times, the design work takes center stage--a soft snowflake design on pajamas or delicate tracings on leaves or bushes. Although this may mean more to the adult reading than to the child listening, both will feel the closeness the book engenders.  --Booklist
