Synopsis

Handpicked by Amazon kids’ books editor, Seira Wilson, for Prime Book Box – a children’s subscription that inspires a love of reading.

When you love someone, you stand by them no matter what happens.

In good times . . .
When you're excited, the world joins with you,
You bounce all about--look, I'm bouncing, too!

In bad times . . .
When you are sad and troubled with fears,
I hold you close and dry all your tears.

And all the times in between.
When you are high and when you are low,
I'll be holding your hand . . . and I'll never let go.

Share this beautiful celebration of unconditional love with someone special in your life.

From School Library Journal

PreS—The creators of I Love You Night and Day (Bloomsbury, 2014) are back with another sweet book bearing a message of unconditional love and support. Soft and colorful mixed-media illustrations show various adult and child animal pairs engaged in assorted activities. As each of the young animals display a different emotion or behavior, the brief, rhyming text provides reassurance that they are supported through the highs as well as the lows. For example, one spread shows a puppy holding a crayon behind his back, while the wall beside him is covered with childlike drawings. The adult dog stands with hands on hips, looking slightly displeased, and the text reads, "When you are naughty, I see that too... But I know that really you know what to do." The warm and calm presence of the adult in each scene, even during these more challenging moments, is supported by the gentle and spare verses. The gender-neutral animal pairs could easily represent a number of close relationships, from parent and child to grandparent and grandchild to an older and younger sibling. VERDICT A perfect choice for one-on-one sharing and a comforting bedtime story.—Kimberly Tolson, Medfield Public Library, MA
