Review:
This is one of the nicest children's books I have seen. The message is heartfelt and this book would make a wonderful gift for the new mom. It also is a nice message to share with young children who want to hear how they were born and what their story is. --Family First Monthly, A Resource For Parents
From mother to child: Book offers a loving welcome. Cadillac-Area artist creates tender picture book celebrating a child's birth. From a child's dreams to a mother's love, Michigan artist Deana Jager connects the dots in her moving picture book, "Can You Imagine How Much I Love You?" Jager, a mother of three tells this mother-child love story in striking black and white illustarations created with a method she calls reverse pointillism. Typically in pointillism, black dots are placed on a white background to create a shadow of an image. Jager reverses that process, placing white dots on a black background to create the image's highlights. The process is painstaking-it took 12 to 24 hours to create each picture in the book by hand. But the result is moving, dreamy artwork that captures the quiet tone of this book. "It's a story I have been telling my husband for 12 years," Jager said. "All growing up when I was a little girl and in high school I would think about the children that I would someday have and how much I loved them." "I woke up one morning and thought I am going to put this into a book." The book is narrated by a mother, who tells her child how much she longed for a child - since she was a little girl. It is a reassuring story that will make any child feel welcomed and wanted. --Grand Rapids Press, Susan Collins Thoms

Jager reversed the process by placing white dots on a black background. While the artwork is impressive, Jager's sentimental story touches the hearts of mothers and children of all ages. --Traverse City Record Eagle
