Synopsis

From the team behind the #1 bestselling I Love You Night and Day comes another beautifully illustrated story of unconditional love, now perfectly packaged as a padded board book.

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.

Now available as a padded board book--perfect for sharing with little ones--this offering from popular author-illustrator team Smriti Prasadam-Halls and Alison Brown pairs a lyrical rhyming text with warm illustrations. Filled with a universal message of love, this book makes for the perfect read-aloud and a wonderful gift for all ages.

About this title

Review:

"Another sweet book bearing a message of unconditional love and support . . . 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 . . . A perfect choice for one-on-one sharing and a comforting bedtime story." --School Library Journal

"The last lines, echoing the premise of the whole book, will be reassuring to most . . . Sweet." --Kirkus Reviews

"Prasadam-Halls's rhymed couplets have a pleasing lilt . . . The gender-neutral, cross-species portrait of affection gives the book the potential for broad appeal--the animals' relationship could easily be between a single or adoptive parent and his or her child, or also between two close friends." --Publishers Weekly on I LOVE YOU NIGHT AND DAY

"Brown's soft, full-spread artwork nicely matches Prasadam-Halls's brief rhyming verse . . . This gentle, reassuring story is a calming tale just right for family or group sharing." --School Library Journal on I LOVE YOU NIGHT AND DAY
