Synopsis
Since its publication in 2001, You Are My I Love You has sold half a million copies worldwide and given voice to the unique love parents feel for their children. Now the creators of this modern classic reunite to honor the special bond between grandparent and grandchild, the one of passing along tradition, joyful spoiling, nurturing imagination, and pure adoration. Whether it's the sharing of stories or romping horsey rides, silly tickle fights or lazy fishing trips, there's truly nothing like it.
With touching, heartfelt words and warm, playful illustrations, Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa shine their spotlight on this unique relationship.

About the Author

Dr. Maryann Cusimano Love is an award winning international educator and author. Dr. Cusimano Love has spoken to audiences from suburban pre-schoolers to inner city teens to international diplomats.

Satomi Ichikawa, creator of the Nora books, lives in Paris, France.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3—A loving bear lists for her grandchild all the things that make their relationship special, wisely observing how they complement one another: "I am your grandparent;/you are my grandchild./I am your wise face;/you are my new-tooth smile." As the two go for a walk, have a picnic, and contentedly fall asleep under a tree, their bond is sweetly illustrated in warm, soft watercolors that beautifully depict their facial expressions and body language. Four endearing small stuffed toys also come along on the outing and are fun to spot on each page as they follow the toddler bear and participate in everything. This team has also produced You Are My I Love You (Philomel, 2001), which has approximately the same type of format but with a parent and child. Although the format may get old if indefinitely repeated (the text is a little too sugary), this is a gentle love song for grandparents to share with their grandchildren.—Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
