That's Me Loving You by Amy Krouse Rosenthal Hardcover

Amy Krouse Rosenthal captures the parental desire to be ever-present in their child's life in this simple, touching poem. Her words capture sentiments both sweet ("That butterfly on your shoulder?/That's me hugging you.") and a bit more realistic ("That persistent mosquito?/That's me bugging you"). Parents of anxious children will find this a useful tool; as they send their child off into the world -- or maybe just to school for a few hours -- they can offer reassurance of the ubiquity of their love by attaching it to the elements and living things that are all around us. Teagan White's art is fresh while evoking old-school charm, allowing the book's appeal to transcend generations.
